Well, the English language is kinda tricky too. In toothpaste, the economy size is the largest. In automobiles, it's the smallest. Exactly what does economy-sized mean?

Took the words out my mouth. 79.99 here. Also Funyuns dropped 2oz from the bag and are up to 5 bucks.Do you mean like Blackhorn 209 changing to 8oz cans and raising the price to $75 for a (half) can?
The worst part is the producer of the base ingredient (Farmer, Rancher) is not getting the same increase in their return. It is all the middle people..NOT MAN...LAYERS OF PEOPLE getting their guaranteed cut with percentage increase to offset any costs they incur, and the final seller getting their increased profit margin on top of their expenses. Final people will break even and even loose a little on some products because they are more than making up the percentage on other products. How do I know.....well we be farmers, no longer ranchers, The kids work for a marketing group (middle man) as we told them go where the profit is yours to control. So, yeah I'm factually educated on the reality of the prices not just the last couple years....oh about 40 years of actual knowledge not just farmers compaining.
Nah, dont be hard on them they only cut it 2oz the last move. I still have some from 4-5 years ago and it was 10oz.
Hahahhaaha.....when the ladies are happy they be spreading the love to all the neighbors with a twinkle in their eye.

If the contents of the packaging is being reduced, how hard is it to include small tube of vaseline?

I'd be real curious if the food industry had adopted Lean Manufacturing , 6 Sigma or any other process improvement concepts?
I think they expect the farmer/rancher to do all that!

Slightly off topic, when my kid explained to me they way they are now taught math it all started to make sense why all of them are now confused

You know that's why a good friend of mine who has small flow farm raising beef cattle and sheep he does not use any GMO seeds for us corn and he has chickens also well he's been asked about buying meat because it's very organic he decided to start grinding the whole cow and he is selling that for $9 a pound so he is doing that right out of the house Black market but it's making a good profit on his animals
Sometimes it's good.
For example, I loves me some thin crust pizza. I can't freakin stand Chicago style pizza - might as well eat a loaf of Italian bread with a little marinara sauce and mozarella on it.
It order to keep their pizzas below $10, Costco started thinning their crusts. It's now perfect in my opinion.
Sidenote, I'd gladly pay $15 for a Costco pizza, it would still be a better deal than anywhere else.
