Shrinkage


There is some consternation out and about on how food and beverage manufacturers are trying to sneak one past the American consumer by reducing the sizes of their packages (and presumably charging the same price). While I'm not too happy about getting less ice cream, maybe this is a good thing? The last thing Americans need to be doing is eating super-sized vats of Country Crock.

I recently read that Australians are fatter than we are (good on ya, Aussie!) Maybe the shrinkage at the grocery store will help this trend continue.

I was peeved to notice recently that Hellmann's mayo now comes in a 30 oz. jar vs. a whole quart.

Don't gyp me on the mayo.
