How many of us are old enough to remember what happened to the sizes of retail packages during President Nixon's WAGE & PRICE CONTROLS???

Some sizes go up...some go down... the original Coca Cola glass bottles were only 10 fluid ounces, not that you can find anything that small nowadays. Most soft drinks are made with high-fructose corn syrup, and far unhealthier for you as a result... and most commonly in 20 oz. bottles.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

You're kidding, right?

You must not eat much ice cream.

Those of us who consider ourselves aficionados have been lamenting this change since it occurred about 7 or 8 years ago!!!

I could have sworn that last summer my Edies was a regular 1/2 USGal!!

Other fancy-schmancy brands have been a rip off since they started!!

Then their clever packaging worked, and you didn't even notice!!

I think Edies was one of the first to downsize. Some of them are now taking it a step further and shrinking to 1.5 qts from 1.75 qts.
