The one I really object to is the Classico. Their original bottle was
a real canning jar size. The new one merely pretends.

I like how the "New Space-saving!" 1.75 quart half-gallons of ice
cream recently dropped to 1.5 quarts. They actually pretended they
were doing us a favor with the smaller size the first time, then
didn't say anything when it shrunk again.

I find it easy to avoid those shrunken ice creams and other shrunken
products... they can only succeed when folks keep buying those
scammer's products. Everywhere there are several local ice cream
manufacturers who make an excellent product and sell at very
reasonable prices. Long ago the big national brand ice creams
cheapened their products and then began shrinking them... they are
simply common thieves. Complain with your feet.

Our local Safeway has started carrying some REAL half gallons of some of
their house brand flavors. My wife pointed this out to me. Oh boy!
But why would you buy them? Do I really need more ice cream in my life?

The unit price is by the quart. The half gallons are significantly more
expensive per quart.

IME, those half gallons tend to be better brands or ingredients and
are worth more. I read both the unit price and the ingredient list and
decide from there.

I have to admit I didn't read the list of ingredients or nutrition
information. They were both the same flavor and brand, Lucerne (the
Safeway dairy house brand) mint chocolate chip flavor.
