Smaller size, same price? Name and Shame

Possibly it is just a case of us getting bigger and imagining things are getting smaller.....

I remember when I was a child a 10p coin used to seem really big, and then all of a sudden, even overnight, it felt like it had gotten smaller.
This happened around 1992 when I was 11 years old. As people know there is a big growth spurt at that point, so it was just a case of my hands getting bigger and the coin feeling smaller.......

^^Funny that, I remember the same thing happening to me with 5p's

Weirdly, I remember exactly the same effect even though I has well past my teenage years when it happened.

Spooky, or what?

Cadbury's Time out has shrunk from 50g (2 x 25g) to 32g (2 x 16g).

Funny how when things are increased in size they put it all over the wrappers. ie Now 25% bigger. Yet when they shrink it is all kept very quiet. I think they should be forced to put any decreases in size on the wrappers in large print.

Copella fruit juice went from 1 litre to 750ml I think but kept the same price (or very similar). The company was challenged about this but just offered some very smooth statement about the smaller size being more consumer friendly and completely sidestepped the issue about price.

Obviously you all come from poor, working class backgrounds......

In my posh family I had a similar growth spurt that resulted in 50p's looking smaller overnight.
