Sneaky, Sneaky

Sneaky little ice cream makers. Have you noticed how certain ice cream brands have kept the same circumference of their gallon ice cream containers while they have made them shorter. They have tried to trick, yes I did say trick, consumers into thinking they are buying the same old gallon of ice cream. Quoting Wikipedia we read "In May 2008, the 1.75 Quart container was further down sized to 1.5 Quarts (3 Pints). Other ice cream manufacturers followed the down sizing move. Thus, the consumer pays more for less." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyer%27s Ok, I know it isn't the most reliable source but it is one none the less.
Really?! Really?! Honestly.
