As a kid I remember there being not enough raisins. Now I think there are too many. It seems like there are more than twice as many raisins now. I am guessing the cost per pound of raisins must now be lower than the cost per pound of flakes. I would love to know if anyone has any hard data to back up my theory.

I never thought the day would come when I would say there were too many sugar coated raisins in a box, but seriously, it's come to picking them out and saving them for the trail mix jar or something.
