I ordered the same stain remover I've been using for years. I paid same price as always. I got it and the bottle is half the size it used to be. Ok, not half but significantly smaller than its been in the past.

A while ago I realized my recipes were still calling for 12oz bags of chocolate chips, but the stores were selling 9oz bags.

I bought a few packages of salami from meal mart and they had 11 slices each instead of 12.
(I counted because I thought I bought enough as I needed as usual.)

I bought two bottles of detergent from the same company. They both claim to be 33.5 oz and good enough for 21 loads but one bottle is much smaller than the other. Not sure what to believe.

Noodle kugel recipe calls for 16oz but the packages have 12 now. It's been like that for a while though...

Individual yogurt cups dropped from 7 oz to 6 oz semi-recently. Maybe a year or 2?

That’s funny because I was making Lukshen kugel today and all the recipes I found call for 12oz bags. But I only found 10oz ones in the stores…

This is an old one but it still annoys me - a half gallon (2 quarts) box of ice cream is now one and a half quarts. Mad
