More Downsizing;;

Just noticed today two new (at least to me) downsizing of food items. I don't buy cans of vegetables often, but I wanted to today, and the cans looked small. The content size of almost all cans were 14.5 ounces. I remember a some had moved from 16 to 15 sometime back, but this was a surprise to me.

Then I noticed the half gallon size of ice cream, which it seemed only a year or two ago, had moved from a half gallon to 1.75 quarts, was now 1.5 quart size for Breyers. I did not check other brands.

I still wonder if our inflation bean counters in Wash. DC have ever taken downsizing into their calculations for certain food items.
