Pondering Serving Sizes
Are Single Serving or Two Serving Portions the Way to Go?
 

Serving Size PollWe've gotten some very strong reactions from hikers on the topic of whether we should stock one or two serving sizes. Some advocate for more Single Serving meals while others prefer a Double.

This is your chance to weigh in!

We're considering phasing out some of our two-serving meals in favor of a solo pack - what are your thoughts?

Participate in a quick poll (pictured on left) and let us know your preference. Have more to say? Email us at quickpoll@packitgourmet.com and let us know what you REALLY think!
