kleenex started this mess. a box of tissues used to be a standard 200, now it's usually 144, or less if you buy the fancy ones.
ice cream has shrunk here too, from 2 litres to 1.8. if only ice cream were sold by weight- a pint of premium IC weighs the same as a 2-L cheaper brand. the less air ice cream has in it, the better, and the more expensive. what a racket. for grins, I punched the air out of a container of ice cream recently, and the thing was less than half full when I was done compressing it.
chips also, used to come in 200g bags for the normal size, now it's down to 170, or even 150g. in some cases.
