What significant decreases in volume or quanity have you noticed in your grocery cart ?

[Swingwing]

Don't know for sure. My guess would be that it is about the only way to "speak up", or emphasize exuberantly, or to convey a strong conviction above the normal chatter and punctuation. Your mileage may vary.

For extra emphasis and volume they could MAKE IT RED and BOLD!

They have been deceiving us for a while.
A box of Frosted Flakes says it is 12 servings. It is only 3.

In high school, it was 1 serving per box. Still not sure why my dad thought you weren’t supposed to eat cereal from large mixing bowls.

Papa always said, "dang boy, I used mules to plow cotton, all day and didn't feed them that much oats."

Yeah, there is probably a decrease in nutritional value as well as quantity ...

I weighed a couple packages of ground hamburger the other day - package said "2 lbs" - my scale showed about 2.08 lbs.

The .08 lbs. is probably the packaging. Mystery solved!

lol - I weighed the meat, not the package. There was definitely 2.08 lbs of venison in there.

Ahhhh....

....there is the explanation. It wasn't your normal grocery store butcher that did that packaging.

Remember when coffee was in 1 pound cans?

Then it went to 14 ounces, then 13 ounces, now some are barely 10 ounces.

Dang it!!! Do NOT screw with my coffee!!!!

You have to watch that Juan Valdez guy, he’s sneaky.
