Product Description:

In difficult economic times, funny things happen to packaging. That 32-ounce jar of mayonnaise? Better check the label—it’s probably 30 ounces now. That 3-pound tub of spread? Try 2 pounds and 13 ounces. The shrinking act on the grocery shelves will hardly surprise newspaper executives, given that the cost of the cardboard and plastic surrounding the product often exceeds the cost of what’s inside.
