Serious question, did anyone else see that 'outrage' over the new cereal box design?
It was a 2% size reduction for the same price, and people acted like the company committed a crime. I just bought the store brand for $1.50 less and moved on with my life. Anyone else think this kind of 'scandal' is just noise?

Did you catch that NPR story about how shrinking packages is basically legal as long as they don't change the weight?

People notice the smaller box right away. It feels like a sneaky way to raise prices without being honest. My time is worth more than hunting for a store brand to fix their bad choice. Companies should just charge more if they need to, not quietly give us less.

The worst part is how it messes with recipes. Now you need two boxes for what one used to do.
