The emerging official name for the phenomenon is "shrinkflation".
The most infuriating example I ever saw was in the familiar red and white metal boxes of McCormick ground black pepper. It has been sold for decades in the same iconic tin, but they dropped the contents from 4oz to 3oz. That and many other examples here:

The place where this pisses me off the most, because honestly it's best that I eat less chips, is when I open a tub of protein powder and it's half empty.
I forgot to mention the really outrageous one: Kleenex (IIRC) started making significantly smaller tissues, then put them in the same size external box with internal barriers so they wouldn't flop around. Who looks inside an empty Kleenex box?
That's some chutzpah.
I guess my Kleenex boxes are too old to experience this.

At least niggers won't pick the cotton out of it.
And when that doesn't work they just short the product. Why even have regulations at this point? No one is enforcing them.
