Saw this on another newsgroup.
Seems as though the big sellers of exchange tanks are not filling them

all sorts of products have been downsized lately.
You have to check everything.

OTOH, my laundry detergent got *more* concentrated, by 2:1. When gas
went up, the company decided to stop shipping so much water. Of course
the price went up, but this was one that really seemed like a win-win to
me.

Of course if the manufacturer was *really* interested in just saving
packaging cost, they would have kept the old container size when they
went to the 2:1 concentrated formula. Then they would have cut their
packaging costs (and post consumer waste) in half.
