Seems everything is going to be travel sized soon.. Products just keep getting smaller and smaller by the year if not more often.. yet prices climb. A couple things in my groceries yesterday that I noticed were the tooth paste and fudgeeO cookies (double stuff, more on this later)
My current tooth paste is 150 ml, down from 180 not that long ago - the new one? 130 ml.. The smaller sized on the shelf still had 100 ml listed on the price sticker, but the product is now labeled 70 ml.
Fudgeeos I dont buy often enough to remember exactly, but I'm almost certain they used to be 454 grams a number of yrs ago = 1 lb.. Cookies in general have been sliding ever since, 350g, then 330, and now 303.. 303? I can only assume is used to trick people who were remember 330, since there are still two 3's in the number. Oreos in the US are still 405 grams, double stuff is 435g.
Now the double filling itself is noticeably smaller, and wedge shaped, 2 'slices' put together to give the appearance of double 'stuff', but there is some definite trickery going on with the tapered shape.
