I just purchased a box of Cheezels today (not a common purchase), anyone
know when the box size went from 125g to the current 110g?

You just can't escape these companies ripping people off by reducing the
size of contents while keeping the price essentially the same, can you?

A web site should be established to keep track of these size drops.  

Products that have downsized that I can remember off hand include Red Rock Deli chips,
Smiths chips, Arnotts chips, Paddle Pops, Mars Bars, Various brands of muesli, a lot of
pet food (450g down to 400g), various brands of baked beans, spaghetti and other canned
foods (down to 400g).

What other products are ripping us off?
