When people have been buying quart bottles of mayo for 50 years,

raise revenue and hope the customer does not notice. It is called
deception. Perfectly legal. Many people have not notices until they
got home. Sleazy way of doing business, IMO.



It's either hit the shrink ray (the popular term used) or increase
prices. Which would YOU prefer?


Either way, the price is raised. Am I going to use less mayo on a
sandwich? No, at the end of the year I'm going to buy the same
quantity be it in 4 big bottles or 5 smaller ones. I'm also being
forced to pay for that extra package so it is even worse.

How often do you downsize rather than increase the price. Next year
it will be 28 ounce jars, then 26, 24, 22 ----soon they will be
selling mayo in half ounce packets.


Steal them from the fast food places. While you are there, fill up on
catsup and mustard. And next time you eat out, don't forget the crackers
