Yes, tp is another, the rolls aren't as wide. Shampoo bottles used to be a standard 16 ounces. Now it's all different amounts, none 16.
m&m's used to be 16 ounces, then went to 14 quietly. They came out later with a big ad campaign for the "pounder" which was really back to 16, and now they are back to 14.
A recent frozen pizza was another disappointment .... I laid it on top of the box to see a full 1 1/2 inches clearance all the way around, another waste of packaging.
The obvious downsize was Pepsi products going from 12 to 8 cans. That's 1/3 less and yet basically, the price stayed the same. Pepsico defended it as consumers "wanting" smaller packages - yeah right !
