Pepsi replaced its 32oz Gatorade bottle with a 28oz for the same price.

Nabisco shrank the family size box of Wheat Thins by 12%.

General Mills shrank the family size box of Cocoa Puffs by 6%.

@rbreich I try to avoid products with weird weight/volume measurements, like 11 3/8 oz, as they clearly represent cheating by presenting a package that appears to be of a standard size but is actually smaller. Coffee if particularly bad. I don't mind the occasional one that looks funny till you see that it is a reasonable 'round number' in metric. Trader Joes' "pound plus" chocolate bars are actually 500 grams.
