It’s how they’re hiding how bad inflation truly is. It started with prices raising. Once that got to a point where people started seeing it and complaining, they started shrinking the sizes to keep the price from going up further because people won’t notice the smaller sizes as quickly. We started noticing the shrinking sizes and now, they’re shrinking them and not reflecting it on the packaging.
I saw what appeared to be a "half gallon" of ice cream the other day and it actually said on the label in very small text - 1 quart 1 pint. They used to be 2 quarts, or 1 half gallon.
I also fully expect that American manufacturers will start marking everything in grams instead of ounces just to confuse us. Ounces have been used for a LONG time here, but grams or milligrams are usually for things like medicine.
