(1,957 posts)Most companies are hoping we don't. Mothers towing a couple hungry kids from school doesn't have the time to be a great label reader. Some feel the well known brands are automatically the best so they they read labels either. Finally you have those who feel bleach is bleach and will grab according to price,scent or whim. But so many buy for,say a mold problem, and are getting a fancy version of bleach scented water. Years ago ALL bleach was considered a disinfectant.
While we have consumer web sites I don't think we have really gotten enough info to be a threat against shady business wording,sizes etc.
You have a sheet size cake pan but your cake mix is shrinking. Your cake will not look as high as it should. Recipes that used to call for a pound can are now 14 oz so you have to use a filler for those lost ounces.
I don't see how a family can even afford to buy cereal when you see how little is hidden in one of those boxes. Many offer little more then 3 bowls. If a family of four ate cereal every morning think how many boxes they would have to buy! We used to have sensible size boxes that lasted a week and kiddie cereals even had silly toys inside.
Every time you think you have read all the labels you need to on a shopping trip some manufacturer pulls another stunt and the consumer has been had again but it's always in a way that disguises their dishonesty.
