Are they shrinking the sizes of bottles,bags or contents?

Sorry if you are not interested in savings penny to penny. But as a houseiwfe I am just wondering at the size and contents qty now a days. Milk in bottles are finishing fast although our cups are same n drinking routine is same. Not a single change.

Same with sugar and refind oil too.

What is happening actually? It is a same trick by comapnies which was adopted by Mcdonalds few years back to shrink the size of burger without notifying the customers?

This week I noticed major change in the milk bottle's contents. It was for 1.5 ltrs. It usualy goes for 3 days but this time it is finished in 2 days only.

Same with refind oil. Why do comapnies do this kind of tricks without informing the customers?

Brit: How many teeth do I need to have in my mouth to chew Rizks peepeedoms, or can I just gulp it down with a sip of Karak? )=

Enamor: If it is 1.5 litres yesterday, it will be 1.5 litres today..

I do agree that in many things the size has decreased whilst the price has remained the same .. This is paricularly true for chocolates and fizzy drinks...

McD burgers were never big...not enuf for a fat man like me to be satisfied...but unlike these burger type gaints...the trick other food commodity company use is to reduce the quantity, and increase the price, in order to maintain their profit margins...
