It's obvious you weren't around when this was a real issue. As I said, one of the oldest marketing tricks in the books. At some point some 30 years ago, suddenly the same packages contained less product. That ranged from Dishwashing powder to chocolate or cereals. People didn't notice at first, since the manufacturers made it so that the bottom of the package was quite a bit thicker than it used to be and it took some very observant persons to take note.
They have been changing the sizes of various products in my lifetime as well you know. I am fully aware of what they are doing. See all those Toblerone posts of mine you see on the forum? It's me taking the piss.
