I'm not sure when the change is taking place just thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

That happens with most everything. I seen a show a LONG time ago that showed normal everyday stuff being downsized and the same price, we just dont notice it. I was shocked (didnt even realize the downsize) and then a little ticked off.

Yeah, like candy bars. I really didn't eat candy bars for the longest time. Crab them here and there now, cannot believe how small they have got. Use to get 4 fro $1 too:rolleyes:

yeah im a marketing major, we learn about downsizing products all the time. Candybars are a great example, they will put out bars with 20% but for a little higher price. Then they will downsize the product but keep the same price. Consumers typically never notice.
Keep an eye out for it and you'll notice how many products at the grocery store are done this way.
