As far as I know, this is required by law. It's in tiny numbers though and a shocking number of people don't understand this simple concept. You can bet nobody would list it if not required though, and it doesn't make me feel any less cheated when I have to read the fine print to discover the package is smaller.
Ok so costs go up, prices have to go up, fine, be honest and raise the price outright. Don't raise the price then try to cover up the increase by deceptive packaging, that just makes us feel cheated.
We notice, and we feel cheated! I fully understand the need to increase prices as costs for everything goes up, but do not try to hide the increases with sneaky deceptive tricks! I am FAR more put off by this shady bait & switch tactic than I am by the higher prices.
