I posted about the smaller jar recently. The other terrible thing is
that they changed the formulations on the Hellman's low/less fat mayos
too. It does not taste nearly as good IMO. I don't know about the
regular mayo, however, as I've not tried it yet. Damn! I am giving
serious thought to making my own. And btw, Cook's Illustrated no longer
rates Hellman's as the best of the common brands either.

Thai Kitchens little noodle boxes have also been recently changed for
the hugely worse (GAK!!!). It seems like most of these kinds of changes
to good products consist of supplanting quality ingredients with lesser
quality crap thinking that the customers will never notice the
difference.
