I'll bet your raisin bran is in a smaller box too. Did they alert you they were adjusting the packaging dimensions? And why are the adjustments always down in size? And why does the price not also go down?
Why indeed.
Why indeed.

Smaller ice creams mean people eat less ice cream.

At this point I should mention that Blue Bell still offers the full 1/2 gallon size standard at the same price others charge for the smaller size. Gotta love Texas...every now and then.

When you think you are having a bad hair day, remember that it could always be worse.

Bermuda was my first tropical island visited, way back in the 70s. Very pretty island.
Back in my bachelor days I aimed to visit every tropical island in the Caribbean. Child-rearing and home-ownership obscured that goal, but now that the young 'un is out of college I'm back in the hunt. On this year's cruise I'll be hitting 3 or 4 new islands and ports.

The great Cadbury Creme Egg shrinkage - now that was the swindling of the decade.

= less ice cream eaten!
Quality content. cc: @DougRNS
You made the obvious, cynical point. I made the optimistic, glass-is-half-full point.

Ran on the dman treadmill at the gym because it was pouring. Why is there no gym with half-decent ventilation?

Yet they doubled the sugar content. I thought I was going to enjoy a rare treat a couple years ago, and just about couldn't finish that thing. I did, in the name of researching the true sugar content, but it was close. Not even near the same egg I remember from days gone by.

Yeah. I was camping not that far from the AT. At one point I was actually on the AT. There is a walkway along the I-80 bridge that crosses the Delaware River from NJ to Delaware Water Gap, PA. Heading west you walk against traffic. There is a wall separating pedestrians from traffic, but it's low, so you have semis and other traffic barreling at you. And it's a long walk. Hate to think what could happen if there were a bad accident.
