I get Prime Pantry stuff, it comes in a standard - size box, sometimes my boxes are full, sometimes they are near empty. I guess their reasoning is that standardizing = cost savings. I was just in Target on lunch break, was noticing that everything is in like a gazillion sizes (Ziploc food containers!), but just a very few sizes of Ziplocs...mentioned this to some co-workers, and they all complained about a lack of product between the one quart and gallon sizes, so two - quarters would surely sell.
