Smaller is not better....

I noticed several years ago that the makers of sweetened condensed milk changed the size of the can from 14 oz to 12.5 oz, I noticed this because the recipe I was using called for a 14 oz can and when I looked at the can I found it to be smaller. I've seen my beef jerky package go from 5 oz to 3.56 oz over the course of a year or two and yet the price actually increased. So now I come across maybe the most heinous of acts by these big mega corporations.....

They've shrunk my toilet paper!!!!!

I put a new roll on recently from a brand new mega-pak and it looked slightly different so I grabbed the old cardboard roll and compared it to the new roll and the new roll is about a half inch less in width than the old one. At a time when American asses are getting bigger is it a good idea to make the TP skinnier? Is dental floss TP far behind? This is getting ridiculous, just raise the price and keep the same sizes.
