    Many of us have or have used P21S wax. Quite by accident the container separated and here is a picture of what we actually paid for......it's a container within a container. Threw the exterior tub away and don't feel like trash diving so check your container to see the difference. I'd bet the newest product they offer is in the same container.........
    Click on pic for larger one. The ribbed part at the top is the same size as the outer container.

    OK, but is it actually less then advertised? If not, then I dont see anything wrong, if anything they would be using a super reinforced container :giggle:

    Thanks Joe, that gives a much better visual of what you don't get.

    I doubt that it is but I think it's rotten to make it appear that you are getting more than you actually are. Yes, it's common in everything from cereal boxes to cans of soup but this is the first time I've seen it in detail products......likely not the last.

    no problem RTexasF,

    the wax has a net wet of 6.2oz (175kg)...the picture on the right is narrow on the bottom and widens as it goes up..it may look smaller then normal ... but it looks like it could hold 6.2oz's of product..

    I'm sure it does. It's the deceit that bugs me. It LOOKS like you are getting more than you actually are.

    Hey, as long as on the side the amount matches to what's in there, it's all good!!!

    But it is pretty sneaky...

    Would you honestly buy it, if it were a 6 oz container? Take a pop can, cut it in half, then look at the size. I know everyone feels jilted, but I'm sure there are more reasons than confidence of value for the packaging.

    It looks like you could hide your stash or whatever in there, right in plain sight!
