A few years ago I started shopping at Lidl and came to really like their bakery.
I noticed over time that their bagels became smaller.
Smaller than the bagels at Giant supermarket, and two real bagel shops I eventually found. Currently "everything" bagels at Lidl are 79 cents each. At the real bagel shops "everything" bagels are $2 each.
The Lidl bagels are smaller, the "everything" bagels don't have salt or nearly as much. I like them better than the bagels from one of those two "real" bagel shops.
Thankfully, the smaller Lidl bagels have fewer calories!
I remember a few years ago I saw several articles about bagel places scooping out some of the bread for people watching their weight.
Duh, they should have just made them smaller.
The Lidl bagels are still large enough to make decent sandwiches.
