You mean those 1/2 Gallon (2 Qt) round Ice Cream flavors. that shrunk to 1.75 Qt That shrunk again to 1.5 Qt ?
But Wait.. Some stores still sell the same flavor in 1.75 Qt. So you REALLY need to watch the ads. Brand 'Brown' Vanilla $3.99 (1.5 Qt) vs $4.99 (1.75 Qt) in other stores. Other than the size marking, there isn't a glaring indication of the change. You just reach in and grab the brand you have been buying 'forever'
Or the 7 Oz Chocolate bars that are now only 5.5 Oz.
Or the fast one CocaCola (US) pulled.
