Good example. A can used to be one pound. Then 14 oz. Now 13 or even less.
Tuna did this also. Same size can but less product inside.
A while ago, I was at the market and noticed a display of spaghetti sauce. What caught my attention was that the same product was in 2 slightly different bottles. One had flat vertical sides. The other had sides indented in a couple of places. I looked closer and sure enough, the new bottle with the indents held a couple ounces less sauce. But both types of bottles were being sold for the same price.
