the size and weight of the block would remain unchanged

How are they going to do that? Reduced volume, but same weight? More salt?

Premier says the stock will be more compacted so customers get the same weight per block, despite the volume lost by making the notches.

What a great marketing ploy. This news reached the depths of the CF basement within just hours of the first announcement.

True!!!!
But personally I've never understood why people want their Sunday roast to always taste of OXO or Bisto. I make the gravy from meat juices, caramelised fat, a little Gravy Browning if required and traditional Gravy Salt! Mmmm
