I guess I'll buy the stuff anyway and try not to think about it because it'll raise my blood pressure!

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Yes, I agree that practice is irritating, but as far as the food goes, I think our portions are out of control anyway. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.

I first noticed this type of consumer deception a few years ago with boxes of cereal. And look out for this type of trick with other products as well; I've seen it done with toiletries such as toilet bowl cleaner. Whether or not I continue to buy depends upon my actual NEED for the product. For most of the foods I probably do not continue to buy, but for some products that are effective and I really like for doing cleaning, etc., I go ahead and buy them...while muttering curses at the manufacturer under my breath... :) This is one of my pet peeves!
