Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “other food at home” changed +0.2% (12 months to Dec 2018, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per ounce by +14.3% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
What the source says
“Low Now here’s a product you would never expect to be downsized – those little Sweet ‘n Low packets. Eagled-eyed Nancy S. caught this inconspicuous change with each packet going from 0.04 ounces to 0.035 — five-thousands of an ounce less. But the packet says it is still equivalent to about two teaspoons of sugar.”
