Shrinking Ambrosia

I opened a tin of custard this week, and it looks like it's shrunk - they seem to have downsized from the standard 1-Tall size to a slightly shorter one.

They fooled me, but only this once!

  • It's not just tins of Ambrosia custard that are shrinking. I think there is a phantom shrinker at work here. I first noticed it with tins of Tuna but once I was aware of this I now make a point of looking at the weight on everything I buy!! Butter, tubs of margarine, pre-packed cheese, yogurt, passata, coffee, even sachets of gelatine, all have been attacked by the shrinker! Do the manufacturers think we are stupid and won't notice?
