...seems to be hitting everything. A few years ago I believe Andy touched on the fact that candy bars were getting smaller, but the price stayed the same or increased. But then, do we really need oversize candy bars, since so many of us seem to be "oversized" from eating all that "extra" candy??!!!
It's also hitting other foods in our lives. Half-gallons of ice cream are now 1 and 3/4 quarts (1.75 qts.) Orange juice is no longer a half-gallon either, but is being reduced from 64 ounces to 59 ounces, although the cost appears to be stable, for the time being.
What I did see that really through me for a loop was what was boxed up as "ultra thin diapers." Now folks, I don't have children, but I've seen and been around them, and I cannot understand why someone would want a thin diaper on a pooping/peeing machine! I would think that the average parent would prefer something as large and absorbent as a bolster pillow for catching the "mess" as opposed to an ink blotter!
Standing waaaaaaay back, and shaking my head on Day 206!
