That's a ploy that's been going on all over for some time now. Check the
last 'half gallon' of ice cream you bought. its probably 1.75 quarters not 2
quarts.

The local store continues to run ads that say 'Half Gallon" and I told the
manager he better tell the marketing department to cut it out before someone
takes them to court over it!

Went to Lowes today today to buy a couple of cans of foam to fix some
drafts. When I got home, I noticed that the 2 new cans were smaller than
the one can I had laying around. The old one was 16oz, the new are 12oz.

If they need to raise the price 33%, fine. Oil prices are up. I
understand. But at least be up front about it. This seems a little
"tricky" to me.
