What the source says

“…47, 44, 40, 37, 34, 31, 30… Weniger drin, Preis gleich. Das sechste Mal wendet Procter & Gamble diesen Trick an, um Preisstabilität zu suggerieren. Bei der meistverkauften Größe 4 wird das dann in folgender Zahlenreihe deutlich: 47, 44, 40, 37, 34, 31, 30. Sie zeigt die Anzahl der Windeln pro Packung innerhalb von knapp neun Jahren.”
