Shrinking Products ... Same Price

(Entry edited at 18:22hrs on 19-JUN-2008 to replace last line.)

Some products have gotten smaller ... and the prices have stayed the same.  The last time the corporations tried this one, they told us that this is what consumers "wanted."

But I'll give them credit for this:  at least their lies make a bit of sense this time.

But they're still lies.

And if they don't like that, they can wash my mouth out with Irish Spring soap which shrank from 5 oz per bar a few years ago, to 4.5 oz a bar, to now 4 oz a bar ... and at the same price.

And tell me ... where did your profits stay?  About the same?

Thought we weren't watching?  Guess again...
