Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The size of products and their prices are a matter for manufacturers and retailers. The Competition and Market Authority is responsible for tackling unfair behaviour, and people can report competition and consumer issues here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tell-the-cma-about-a-competition-or-market-problem

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
