Four is the new Five - freeradical - 03-18-2011
Has anyone else noticed that the small bags of sugar are now all four pounds instead of five pounds.

Did the quake upset gravity?

Ice cream half gallons went to 56 oz, now some are 48 oz.
What was it, 20 years ago or so a pound of coffee shrunk to 13oz.
In the consumer's mind, it's helping to hold a better price point.

It's the Giant Economy Size. This model has been going on for years. Bought a can of coffee later ? Used to be 5 lbs. It's like, what,, 3 lbs now ?

My Folgers is now 1 lb 11.8 ounces. I think Costco still has larger sizes.
It's a good thing one bag of sugar lasts me a long time.

but at the restaurants the portions are bigger and bigger!

Major brands of OJ just went through a down-sizing instead of price-increase too. 59 oz instead of 64 oz in the cartons. They did a pretty good job of camouflaging the change, the cartons are almost indistinguishable from the old ones. Similar size changes showed up in other sizes too.

My wife just handed me a Kleenex and they're square now, not a rectangle like they used to be. They've cut
at least an 1" off the end, box looks to be the same size.
