Well, some of them are. I always seem to end up in the line with the slowest and most incompetent cashier in the store. The self checkout things are a mixed bag but generally I'll choose them when available to avoid having to make smalltalk with a stranger. The only real exception to that is when I'm buying something that contains alcohol and they need to check my ID anyway.

Yeah, I also don't like when the producer deceives the buyer and makes a double bottom on the package. I think it sucks. And the fact that our usual products have decreased in size is also true. Therefore, I prefer to buy products by weight without packaging. Also, products in packages are often intended for long-term storage, which means that they contain preservatives and other harmful substances. And I recently took a food intolerance test and found out that I am allergic to food dyes and preservatives. Products that contain these substances cause me an allergic reaction and destroy my health. Therefore, I try not to buy everything that is sold in packages and contains harmful substances. So I became a supporter of eco products.

What scares me more is that there is a act-a-like / talk-a-like UK Clone of  the Regis and Kathy Lee Show, , or Regis and Kathy Lee are a clone of those folks... |O

Ouch!

Well aware of the downsized packages, and Pringles Potato Chip cans are no longer a good waveguide at 2.4 Ghz because of the smaller chip size. That and they have little or no metal in them now...

A few years ago here in Ohio, I noted that Hershey bars had a much lower melting point.  I needed to keep them refrigerated on the way home in the summer.  Seems they abandoned the tropical mix / summer mix  for something cheaper.  After it melts you find out you have been buying much more whipped chocolate and air  then solid chocolate , too.

I wanted a rude username:
Sorry, did you say "chocolate"? I thought you were talking about Hershey bars, isn't their primary ingredient butyric acid.  ;D

I propose that any time a manufacturer makes a material difference in the packaging, it must have a significant notice in the packaging that it has changed from the last time. Change what you want, but you MUST LEGALLY inform the buyers.
