It's even worse for food. I have a recipe for key lime pie that called for "1 14oz can" of condensed milk. Go to the grocery store? The cans are 10.5oz. So now my choices are underfilling my pies, making a smaller pie (and experimenting with crust sizes to find out what fits,) buying two cans and being saddled with condensed milk I'm not going to use, or buying FOUR cans and making three pies... or of course not making that particular pie at all, but sometimes you just want a good key lime pie.
It's called shrinkflation when a product gets smaller while the price remains the price. When a price goes up while getting smaller, that's pretty bad

If you're using the internet you can often adjust the quantities, it will make everything else adjust accordingly.
You can blame Harper for eliminating standard packaging regulations.
Meh. Let people be responsible and do the math themselves. We don’t need government to tell us how to calculate per unit prices.
What are you talking about? The chocolate ration was increased again this year.
and that price will stay like that forever now
Yup... Note how bacon companies like 2-3 years ago stopped selling by the LB, and dropped it to 350g packages. Same price.
