The Top 40

NOW they notice? This has been going on for years. Cake mixes, boxes of cereal, you name it. Packages in odd sizes has been the norm rather than the exception. We noticed it with cake mixes when our 9x13 cakes started looking like pancakes.

Jewel,

I'll tell you a beauty. I buy toilet paper in those big multi-roll packages at Kmart. A year ago I picked up a package of 18 and each roll was 3/8" narrower.

Same number of sheets, each one smaller. Great.

Someone, Anyone, should come up with a "Full Size Me!" business model, open a franchise/chain based on that. I'd shop there - exclusively. Meanwhile, I deliver a friendly yet scathing critique whenever asked by a clerk, etc. "did you find everything alright?" The fools persist, at the grocery, telling us, "YOU saved "n" dollars today", during checkout. Another opportunity to let them have a piece of my mind.

Be damn happy with 4 lb. The mooch would have it at 4 oz.

Also, unless the bag is labelled "pure cane sugar" then it is
almost certainly made from genetically-modified sugar beets.

I picked up a bag of sugar at Walmart several months ago and saw it was 4lbs. I thought it was because it was the walmart brand and that is how they sold it for cheaper. I looked in a regular grocery store and they still had 5 lbs bags.
But then I noticed everything was shrinking./

Sugar lost the fifth pound at least ten years ago. Hubby just now noticed this. Cereal boxes with less cereal, but packaged in taller---but narrower---cartons to make it look like we're getting more. And Kleenexes!! Over a year ago, I noted that the small box that goes in our craft fair holder seemed smaller. Because I stockpile, I could go to the closet and compare it to a box purchased months before: yup . . . old one had 110 tissues, now we get 100. And the lotion ones went down to 70! But price is the same. Tuna dropped two ounces about two years ago. And almost anything else in a 16-ounce package has shed 1-2 ounces and now weighs 14-15.2 oz.

Oh, and each Kleenex is also about 1/4" narrower all the way around; don't even get me started on how thin they've become.

Bah. Insignificant.

A pint of Haagen-Dazs is now 14 oz. They lost me.

Every-time I see sites as delightful as this because I should stop surfing and start working on mine
