How the squeeze works

It's the oldest trick on the shelf. Same package. Same price. Less inside. Nobody sends a memo when it happens — so we do the math they hope you won't.

01

They shrink it

The box drops from 19.3 oz to 18.1 oz in a "new look!" redesign. The shelf tag never changes.

02

The price holds

Still $4.29. Your brain reads "same price" and moves on. That's the whole trick.

price $4.29 → $4.29 (unchanged!)
03

You pay more per ounce

We divide price by ounces, before and after. The real increase is hiding in the division.

per oz 22.2¢ → 23.7¢ (+6.7%)
