Shrinking Tins

I haven't experienced the shrinkage from 400g to 300g but have recently noticed various canned goods which used to come in 420g sizes are now only 410g or 400g - pilchards in tomato sauce, mixed beans, soup, to mention a few.

And yes, in answer to your question mrsmopp, I'm sure we are being diddled, all the way to their profits.

Yes, I imagine people eat more of the chocolate bars because the current sizes do not satisfy, so a second one is eaten, which is probably too much but who throws away a half/quarter bar of chocolate, or indeed saves it? Not me, although on second thoughts that could be my partner who is the most sensible eater of goodies that I have ever encountered.

The same with chocolate bars but it doesn't have any effect upon obesity. Presumably people just eat more of them.

I have drunk Actimel each morning for years but noticed recently the little pots are only just over half full.
An increase in price by stealth.
