It is their way of 'rewarding' their customers by trying(and succeeding) in pulling a fast one on them. Also is one of many techniques developed over recent years by the supermarkets to fool people into thinking they are getting a bargain.

20% reduction in weight, so actually a 20% price rise.

Oh, has anyone noticed the wee grooves in OXO cubes now, is that a weight reduction, 'cos can see any other reason for them.

Ah, no. Oxo cubes are the same size! I wondered this myself, but found an old box at the back of the cupboard the other day, and checked.

I couldn't help but notice the difference in the size of the pate at Asda this weekend. What is normally a 200g tub is now 175g. Like the VAT, only in reverse!

No it's worse, a 20% reduction in weight equates to a 25% price increase.

They may be the same size, but the grooves mean you get less OXO. There's no OXO where the grooves are.
