The one that gets me is when you used to get a pound of something, all the sudden, it’s in a 14.5 oz box.

It may have been out there for a while but I just noticed that with chocolate chips when I was baking this Christmas. The regular bag of chocolate chips called for in most recipes is 12 oz. You'd think the big double bag of chips would be 24 oz., right? Nope. It's now 23 oz. An ounce to the customer might not seem like a lot but we're being cheated while Toll House and Nestle are making a bundle what with every 25th bag being a 100% profit increase for them.

It’s not just the size of chocolate chips bags. The ingredients in many are weird now. They’re inedible.
