(1,557 posts)A gallon of bleach reduced to 3 quarts. 1/2 gallon of ice cream is now 1.5 quarts. A 5 pound bag of sugar is now 4 pounds. Cans of soup reduced to 10 3/4 oz, when they used to contain 14. (May not be the right number exactly, but I have recipes from several years ago that would call for one can of soup at about that measurement.) They think we don't notice, but we do. Everything is being slowly reduced in weight and size but the price remains the same or goes up.
And that's the larger point I wish the OP had made, because the discussion is devolving into what's bad to eat. Yes, we know we shouldn't eat it, but we're being shafted and not just because some of us have the bad habit of consuming processed foods. We're paying MORE for LESS.
