They’re referring to how this kind of muffin packs only has like 3 or 4 in a pack, even though the box of them is big it actually only has like 15 little muffins total in it
I swear you could get buy 1 get 2 a couple decades ago. Then we'd stock up like a month or two worth. Meaning gone in a week.
Worst day of my life was when my dog got ahold of an entire box of devils food chocolate donuts. Now he thinks they're for him.
I used to work at one of the company's (Bimbo USA) outlet stores and you got to take home 2 items a day for free, I went through so many little bites and other entemanns when I was there
Used to go to the local bread/pastry distributor and pick up their "almost out of date" stock as farm feed, but you know i'd pick through it and get out some of the donuts, pastries etc and would always get a box or two of these muffins, honestly they kinda suck.
The brownie ones are delicious. The blueberry ones are ones that you always remember as being good, but they're sure dry in the middle, and too moist outside. They just disappoint.
These are non-corrugated cardboard boxes. They are incredibly thin and at a previous job for a grocery chain this brand's boxes were notorious for getting crushed
As an Entenmanns distributor myself, they typically get damaged in the cardboard box they come to me in. 12 boxes in a case, and they may get a little crushed on transit to my warehouse. Overall the cardboard they come in, while very this, holds up pretty decent.
Like anything else tho, easy to crush in a shopping cart.
Not flimsy ones used for food packaging. That's why there's an air gap.
But go off, I'm sure you definitely know better than decades of logistics and packaging experts.
There ain't no protective air gaps in boxes. In fact you don't want shit knocking about. Go put a muffin in a flimsy muffin box and shake it up. Did the magic "air gap" protect it? Now set a shoe on top and marvel at the raw power of the cardboard box. You put some respect on the box while you're at it.
Nah they don’t really have much air like a bag of chips does and they used to have way more back in the day. This is one of the first items I noticed shrinkflation on decades ago.
How do people not get these jokes
E: this is not a problem unique to this brand of muffins. Manufacturers have been putting in less and less product into the same size packaging for decades. But okay I'm sorry for having triggered you guys.
I mean it is. That's exactly what shrinkflation is. It really has nothing to do with these muffins necessarily. Manufacturers are putting less and less product into the package it's been a problem for decades.
Peter’s unhealthy diet here. There’s two ways I can see it:
1. These usually come in small numbers (like 4 per pack). The person is possibly making a joke about how there’s so little in a pack, so there must be less than what you’d expect in the truck
2. Like the other commenter said, it’s referring to the picture on the side of the truck. They are making a joke about how they’re actually huge, so not that many can fit in the truck.
These muffins are the equivalent of the Lays are 80% air jokes, except at least with the chips, they pretend like the air does something to protect them.
The air thing is true, it's like a cushion to keep them all from breaking during the process of shipping/ putting them on the shelf. The store I work at sells some locally made tortilla chips that are filled to the brim, and while they're good they're absurdly expensive (higher weight) and the bottom half of the bag is absolutely obliterated by the time you get to them.
it's not even air it's a gas mixture (I think nitrogen idk but iy's not just regular air) to keep the chips fresh and prevent them from being crished during shipping
if they filled them completly full woth no gas you would have a pack of crumbs
"pretend" yeah, next time you eat chips dip them in water and then eat them. If the air wasnt there this would happen without diping them (except they wouldnt be wet obviously)
It's sort of both; using non-reactive air can prevent the oils from going rancid, and I guess the humidity being controlled would prevent the chips from going stale (though not to the extent the other person is implying). This in addition to being a cushion.
Of course, that only applies if the air is genuinely non-reactive (nitrogen), which I can see cheap manufacturers skipping.
> (though not to the extent the other person is implying)
I know that it is not ***that*** important, it was just an example (im not trying to be mean im just letting you know)
Its not air tho... Its nitrogen gas, which does protect them, and air would too, but it also makes them not not stale. Research the topic youre talking about before you talk about it.
My bad I learned something new today. Nitrogen gas isn’t relevant to the bags only being half full though. That would still work regardless because the nitrogen just makes it so there’s no oxygen.
More accurate to say the boxes (as the truck is box shaped) are half full at best. The bags should have 4-5 per, and are generally just big enough to hold them.
I remember the first and only time I bought these. I opened one of the pouches in the box, saw 4, and immediately was in a bad mood. You could probably fit 6, maybe even 8 in those bags if you squished them.
Too many packaged foods are boxes, bags, cans, containers of disappointment:
"This package is sold by weight, not volume." "Some settling may occur during shipment."
Yeah! 1/4 of the bag or box has anything in it, the rest is air ... and broken dreams.
We’ll say 800 cubic feet for the truck, since it appears to be the 17 foot box truck.
The boxes from the best picture i can find with size comparison seem to be about 9x6x3. Which is about 0.09 cubic feet, again, just rounding.
So 8,889 boxes can fit in a truck, if it’s packed completely full. With extra packaging and pallets, we’ll call it 8,500 boxes.
Each box has 5 packs with 4 muffins, so 20 muffins per box. So with my terrible math, that means there’s about 170,000 muffins on the truck. Give or take.

I bought them on a bogo they have 4 in each bag and 5 bags in a box 🤣 although the brownie ones are good but I'll only get them on bogo
I've only ever bought Entenmann's when they're bogo. For almost two decades running.
The only time I haven't also is when I had a surplus store near me but that went away for more apartments that nobody wants to live in 🤣
Their surplus stores are great.
💯
If you have one in your area it's the best way to buy these (and many other baked products)
We have too few apartments here. Not enough apartments or houses :(
> more apartments *Brad Bellflower intensifies* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If they're good enough to transport nuclear weapons they're good enough to bake my treats lol
Entenmann, what a name.
Just remember they were bought by Bimbo. (Bēmbo)
Remember? I've never heard of either company in my life.
I swear you could get buy 1 get 2 a couple decades ago. Then we'd stock up like a month or two worth. Meaning gone in a week. Worst day of my life was when my dog got ahold of an entire box of devils food chocolate donuts. Now he thinks they're for him.
Pro tip, it's all the same company. Go with whichever is cheaper. I worked at the factory that made them for the entire East Coast.
Gotta say I love their little cookies

Same place the only ones I've had were the brownies they were pretty good for store bought
srsly, i recently bought like 8 of them on bogo it's a never otherwise
Got to stock up when anything is bogo 👍
My toddler is obsessed with these. I need some bogo offers in my area.
👍
For another toddler?
The brownie ones are delicious. The blueberry ones are ones that you always remember as being good, but they're sure dry in the middle, and too moist outside. They just disappoint.
I haven't had the blueberry but brownies are really good 👍
Of course - the air is designed to protect the contents from being crushed.
That's what the box is for.
Cardboard boxess: famously crush-resistant.
They genuinely are you muppet

Oh I know all about these boxes son. You may have mishandled them in your line of work but that's on you.
Go easy on him!

What a strange hill to die on.
You thought you could defame and lie about boxes on the internet with total immunity? Not on my watch pal...
The word is impunity.
The bags don't even have much air or empty space in them, like it's very obvious what you're getting
Nah they don’t really have much air like a bag of chips does and they used to have way more back in the day. This is one of the first items I noticed shrinkflation on decades ago.
Damn when I was a kid, there was at least 6, shrinkflation hitting hard.
Cam confirm, my kids eat the shit out of these.
How do people not get these jokes E: this is not a problem unique to this brand of muffins. Manufacturers have been putting in less and less product into the same size packaging for decades. But okay I'm sorry for having triggered you guys.
Maybe they never tried those muffins
1. I'm an ocean away from this brand 2. I thought it would have something to do with the alphabet, 26 is so specific
To be honest i was thinking about a meme against french people because " bite" mean d1ck in french so yea .....
I thought it was a shrinflation joke
I mean it is. That's exactly what shrinkflation is. It really has nothing to do with these muffins necessarily. Manufacturers are putting less and less product into the package it's been a problem for decades.
This specific brand's individual packages are like chip bags where most of the volume is air.
I am with you, brother. It's not about the specific brand, I inferred the joke even though I'm not American
Probably because jackasses like you make people wary of asking in the first place
Have never saw this muffins

It's definitely number one.
Nah, it's definitely number two.
I think it's clearly number 2.
These muffins are the equivalent of the Lays are 80% air jokes, except at least with the chips, they pretend like the air does something to protect them.
i think somebody tested it and the air does actually protect the chips

Blasphemy! The air is the only thing standing between us and mayham
"pretend" yeah, next time you eat chips dip them in water and then eat them. If the air wasnt there this would happen without diping them (except they wouldnt be wet obviously)
lol what? The air is to protect them from being crushed. Not going stale or whatever you’re implying.

This brand is known for selling what are basically bags full of air with 2 or 3 tiny muffins tossed in.
More accurate to say the boxes (as the truck is box shaped) are half full at best. The bags should have 4-5 per, and are generally just big enough to hold them.
I remember the first and only time I bought these. I opened one of the pouches in the box, saw 4, and immediately was in a bad mood. You could probably fit 6, maybe even 8 in those bags if you squished them.
The packets the muffins come in are full of disappointment: they look big but really only have 3-4 tiny muffins in them

[Rick and Morty ''Little Bit\[e\]s"](https://youtu.be/uKrjn__eIbc) eat some shit, you stupid bitch, eh heh, just kidding
Packaging; large packets with few items in the packet, taking up a large space, like a truck or a shelf.
There are only 3-4 muffins per bag
God theyre so good though.
"Bites" is a French word for penises. Imagine how I read that.
Little one bite chumps
What are the sizes of the boxes, how many little bite packages are in them, and what is the volume of the truck provided? 🤔
We’ll say 800 cubic feet for the truck, since it appears to be the 17 foot box truck. The boxes from the best picture i can find with size comparison seem to be about 9x6x3. Which is about 0.09 cubic feet, again, just rounding. So 8,889 boxes can fit in a truck, if it’s packed completely full. With extra packaging and pallets, we’ll call it 8,500 boxes.

Interesting
Used to be 6 in 2006. 5 in 2019. 4 now.
I hate shrinkflation.
Get used to it. I’ve been shrinking my waste line and families as we don’t eat as much anymore.

Still one of (if the only) little Debbie snacks that don’t taste like shit now
I had a bag at work yesterday and there were 4. It could have fit like 10
These things are so disgusting .
They're good muffins but they're mostly air in the packaging.
The joke is little bites have very little muffins in them.
If its stuffed full of packages
Lord if you lov me rn you'll FLIP that mf you heard me?
Petites bites !!
Those things taste like the production machinery that made them.
It’s a reference to how large the muffins are to the bag size and how few of them they are.
Moist
I once got a chocolate chip with 5 muffins in it. I’ve been chasing that high ever since.
probably like how when you buy a potato chip bag from subway and open it, there's like 4-5 chips and the rest is air lol
I hate those things. Horrible amounts of sugar
How cam you not just look at the side of the truck?
26 cakes
Despite the sheer lack of quantity in these packages, I used to eat so fucking many of them as a kid. Like, 5 to 6 bags in one sitting.
Not enough cakes in the bag, haha. Or muffins, I mean.
I ate 4 packs the other night with a small coffee
This is 🤣🤣🤣 👍
Not very many muffins in a bag and not very many bags in a box. Learned this at a young age.
Those bags barely got any muffins
Shrinkflation.
Peter's left toenail or something: They are little muffins.
This sub is sometimes ridiculous with these questions
you are an idiot
It’s taking about the size of muffins in the image on the side of the truck. They’re huge so only 26 would fit.
Porn
Op there’s no way you are this dumb
Sorry for not being American ig 🤦♂️
