TrueNorth Nuts Product Size Discrepancy

True North Nuts

Spotted at Target Super Store: TrueNorth Nuts.
Claim to Fame: All Natural Nut Snacks.
What we noticed: The different product sizes - but they aren't what you think. In the picture, the bag at the back is TrueNorth Pistachio Crisps. It's the tallest package, with the same width as the other two, but it actually weighs the least at 4.5 ounces (127.5 grams).

Both packages at the front are the same product, TrueNorth Peanut Clusters. They look the same, i.e. have the same height and width, but the one which says Limited Edition (on the left) weighs 6.6 ounces (187.1 grams), while the one on the right weighs 5.5 ounces (155.9 grams) - did I mention they are the SAME product?!

In addition, all the products are priced the same $3.00 and the 2 packages of Peanut Clusters were on different aisles of the supermarket - the "Limited Edition" was on a clearance aisle.

I don't know what's going on with TrueNorth having the same product at 2 different sizes yet priced the same, but I know I would feel cheated if I bought the one with less.

I purchased the pecan clusters. they were very good but alot of crumbs. your bags should be better quality so that the clusters stay to give you a good bag for the price.
