They’re careful to make sure the bottle still looks the same from the front, but from the side you can see the difference.

    Open the new one. It’ll fatten up when it sucks in some air.

    That would be the comparison to make. I want to see how they shaved 3oz. off when the bottles look nearly identical. Betting it’s mostly in the top.

    I’m not one to be cynical and see evil shit everywhere I look. Some decisions that look bad on the surface were made for reasons we’re not privy to.

    THIS shit however… Someone said, “We’re going to shave 10.7% off to raise profit. But we gotta design the smaller bottle so no one will notice. Oh, and we have to retool the manufacturing lines.”

    And then someone make a spreadsheet calculating the retooling cost and when it’s expected to be recovered from the extra profit.
