This is dumb and useless. Just look at the mass printed on the bag to see how much you're getting.

I kinda hate packaging, though that's not one of my beefs. I guess because I just look at the mass or volume, then complain bitterly when the company changes the packaging while discretely lowering the amount of product that comes with it. Using a ton of excessive plastic-- now that's my problem. Packaging should be designed to be re-used or to compost naturally. This should be a legal requirement, enforceable at some point along the production/distribution chain. Not like that will happen though.

It’s happened in Europe, Germany especially I believe, and called cradle to grave responsibility. In the US though yeah it’s going to be an uphill battle. Related to your comment, my toothpaste went from 7.4 oz. to 4.7 oz., and it took me a second to realize they were different sizes. I have no doubt this was a deliberate choice on the part of the manufacturers.

DarkHorse posted:It’s happened in Europe, Germany especially I believe, and called cradle to grave responsibility. Yes, this is bullshit. My dad used to give me running updates on how his coffee tins were getting smaller by the year. I see it in stuff like bottled water too; there's a new bottle with a fancy shape, smaller without seeming so at first glance. And they call it green!

Platystemon posted:They still have to pick up the bag unless they have a personal shopper or something. There's also been the issue of companies keeping the packaging the same size but inching the weight down bit by bit. The thing that sticks out is McCormick pepper has apparently been doing that. The tin is the same size and looks exactly the same but the weight is lower and there is less pepper. The price is the same, though! Or higher! Gots to adjust for inflation, you know.

Gould (collected in Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes). The technique is to repeatedly micro-downsize over a long period until releasing a new "Now 30% Bigger!" bar with a commensurate price increase.

Some stadium got successfully sued once because their "small" and "large" beers were actually both the same amount, but the "large" cup was taller (and thinner).

Holy poo poo that is blatant, especially considering how much profit they make from beer sales in the first place, without resorting to dirty tricks.

I might be too charitable here, but there could be there's legal limits on the alcohol content of "a drink" served to a single customer.

Hm , there could be, if only there was some way of finding out! I guess the immediate "oh lol my bad we'll start selling EVEN BIGGER larges from now on" doesn't mean anything though.

People rate ice cream as tasting better when they see it scooped from a round container than when they see/taste the exact same product scooped from a rectangular container. Perception is what matters and if people believe they are getting what they pay for, they are.

Uhh.... even setting aside Africa attached to North America, the key doesn't cover all the colors on the chart. If blue is 1, then light blue should be zero, and violet.... negative numbers? I won't even go into how wrong those numbers are for the supposed information. There's way more Passerines than that.
