I don't think they give a shit.

i just pulled out a grain bar i hadnt eaten in a decade and it is more than half smaller. i bought ding dongs after two decades and i thought they were mini.

ya. all over the place

oh... the jumbo eggs, would have been probably small, maybe medium.

noticed in chip bag of tostitos. smaller bag, and less in bag.

You open them up and they are only about 1/3 full. They're so expensive that I'm sure the idea is that people wouldn't buy them if the manufacturer put them in the smaller size of bottles that they really need. Not only is this deceptive, it's wasteful.

Be better than they that we endure.

Fukushima IS far more important and less likely to ever be resolved.

Thanks for the affirmation that Fuku is on your mind, because of my reports.

Well, OK, then...

Used to fill me up, but these days I'm still hungry.

I can just imagine how bad poorer people have it; being screwed by the food companies so much. So, yeah, it concerns me.

like starfish.

You too have been made aware and every time you see my name you think of the radiated sea stars!! Thank you for letting me know sea stars and radiation rent space in your mind. Yep, it's all my fault.

Both are hilarious... neither is close to reality.

and all of us who remember the pound of coffee or the 6 oz can of tuna or most importantly the half-gallon ice cream will be gone and then who's going to complain.....

My husband, the pitmaster, is distraught.

The manufacturers are just trying to help you by keeping you from overeating, they know you are going to finish that pack of Almost out of the Store Home cookies in one sitting so by cutting down on the amount of high fructose corn syrup you are consuming they are keeping you from going into a diabetic coma.

They put the size on the packaging, you just have to read it.

when you are getting less. Very deceptive in my book.

If they didn't you'd have to pay more. Maybe I'm just ambivalent on the issue. I understand the economics of the decision not to raise the price.

They advertise all the time with a : 20% more - free!

So to be accurate, these days, they should be claiming : 20% less, same price!
See how well that goes, eh?

If they told me it was 16oz on the label and only supplied 14oz, that would be a problem.
