Don't bother to make suggestions for product improvement to many large
companys, they're typically met with annoyance for telling them what
to do. I recently phoned Ziploc and susggested they have a two quart
size because the one quart is often too small and the one gallon is
too large. The woman told me that they see no good reason to produce
that size and in a MYOB tone... I asked her how she'd feel if bras
only came in A and D cup... at least I got a giggle from the witch.
