The old Consumerist blog, a spin-off of Consumer Reports, featured "The Grocery Shrink Ray" spots that highlighted such shenanigans. That was around 2005, but the phenomenon has been around for decades.
I have a recipe for salmon patties that, when written, used two pouches of salmon. They keep shrinking the pouches, and I keep revising the recipe to keep up. Now I need 4 pouches to get the same ounces of product.

CR would also point out how the product amount would shrink, but the packaging size would remain.
