A mysterious force in grocery stores causes contents of containers to continually shrink.
1.75 ounces shrinks to 1.5 ounces
20 ounces shrinks to 16.9 ounces
335-380 servings shrink to 320-360 servings

Yes, the 13 oz pound of coffee has been around for awhile. ALso the 14.5 oz (formerly 1 pound or 16 oz) can of vegetables, fruit, chicken broth etc. I really deplore the continued cheapening of US. products.

You shouldn’t be eating ice cream and drinking soda pop anyway. The coffee, however, is an outrage!!!!
