This has been going on for years.

One of the main examples is dog food. Used to be sold in big obvious round number sized bags, now it’s some number crunching random amount.

Then every once in a while they’ll throw in the old round number bag and claim you’re getting a few extra pounds of food for free.

7-11 did this with slurpees a decade or more ago. I remember being in like high school and getting a slurpee and noticing the domed lid they used instead of basically going all the way to the edge of the cup now started maybe 1/2" inwards. Clearly saving very small ammounts of crushed ice and syrup per slurpee I noticed it immediately and was like only 14. They aren't fooling people but we still put up with it.
