Copella Apple Juice - Size reduces from 1ltr to 750ml

Has anyone else noticed that the Copella Apple Juice bottles have recently reduced in size from 1ltr to 750ml? Is this just a cynical attempt to force through a price increase, as the price hasn't reduced by a corresponding 25%?

    Yes it is - and a few weeks ago we were invited to sample some "new" hedgerow flavours in our town a few weeks ago - only to find they were apple & elderflower and apple & pear - both of which we've been buying for ages!
    I have complained to customer services about the price increase.

    which, when push comes to shove, most people could quite happily live without....

    It never ceases to amaze me that these companies still insist on stealthily reducing amounts but not prices therefore actually raising the price. Wouldn't it be nice, just once, a company being honest about things and saying 'We're sorry but the price just has to go up, thanks for your continued support...blah blah' the fact they don't even tell their customers show a breathtaking lack of respect....

    The deceit will lose lots of customers i think.......
