Retail products (food, consumables) qty shrinking, price THE SAME! (no surprise)

So, this is a programme we have, here in England, called "Good Morning". This segment is showing something I knew I hadn't imagined, over the years; is this the same in Aus/USA too? Have a gander...

I am not gonna rant, I'm just baffled as to how we soft-touch English allow them to get away with this crock:



ataradov:
Yep, sizes do shrink. I especially like it when the package size is the same, but on the bottom there is a huge bump taking up volume.

I really like Russian processed cheese and this year when I was on vacation I've eaten quite a bit of it. One thing I noticed is that some vendors package it in 90 gram packs, but others in 80 gram packs. While in the Soviet Union times the standard was 100 grams. I wonder how long they can go on like that.
oPossum:
Nothing new here. Has been happening for at least 30 years.
wilfred:
I found the Toblerone weight change the most devious. They kept the package dimensions the same but made the peaks further apart.
ataradov:
Also, here is a picture of 9-egg carton, as opposed to a more traditional 10 egg pack.

This was ridiculed so hard, that they actually quickly stopped doing that. But you can see their thinking here.
