Sure, I've noticed it. Sometimes in the form of outright price
increases, sometimes in the form of fewer ounces for the same price as
the former more-ounces packaging. Graham crackers. A 2-pound box now
weighs something 26-28 ounces. And the crackers themselves have gotten
smaller -- just think how screwed up those old recipes will be -- the
ones that said, "line a 9"square pan with 9 graham cracker squares.
