A businesswoman slammed Kellogg’s after noticing differences in the size and quality of Rice Krispies Treats. 

Ursula Perez voiced her frustration in a July 27 TikTok after she compared Rice Krispie Treats packed in eight and 40-bar boxes.

‘I knew I was not going crazy saying that the Rice Krispie Treats are getting smaller – it’s the Rice Krispie Treats in the large-count boxes,’ Ursula claimed in her video.

Perez, who owns Sweet Tooth Candy in California, unwrapped treats from both packages to show off the differences.

Other than its sizes, Perez pointed out the difference between each of the treats’ colors, one being darker than the other.

After she unwrapped a Rice Krispie Treat from the small box, Perez immediately called it ‘pretty’ and ‘so beautiful.’

The light-colored bar was in its nearly perfect rectangular shape and stayed solid when the businesswoman attempted to crush it.

She then advised viewers to look at how small the Krispie Rice Treat was from the bigger box.

Perez admitted that she and her employees usually purchase large packages, partially because they assume they’re getting a ‘great deal.’

However, she wasn’t happy when she was able to press down on an entire treat from the bigger box.

‘We need an explanation… Why can’t we get these in this box,’ Perez added.

Reddit users have claimed that Kellogg shrank its Rice Krispies Treats earlier this year, and one buyer noticed this after purchasing a box from Costco in January. 

‘I opened the box I bought today and thought they felt smaller. I grabbed a wrapper from the trash, and that was almost half the size,’ wrote a Reddit user.

Various Reddit users suggested that shoppers buy ingredients to make their own Rice Krispie treats instead.

‘There are only three ingredients, they take very little time to prepare, and Rice Krispie Treats are simple to make,’ wrote a commenter.

‘Plus, if you have kids, you can have a fun time making them. Besides, the pre-packaged ones taste funky compared to homemade.’

Over 1,000 TikTok users flooded Perez’s video with comments, many of them agreeing with the differences between the two bars.

Some TikTokers pointed out the color, but one person referred to the bar differences as a ‘quality over quantity’ situation.

‘This makes sense because sometimes I get a great box, and sometimes I get a box that makes me feel like why did I ever like these,’ wrote a TikTok user.

Others are interested in knowing the weight of each box, with one person noting that a ‘bigger box is a smaller size, bigger count.’

One person wrote: ‘The big box looks more airy too. I wonder what the difference in weight is.’
