Two methods by which producers attempt to hold market share and dollar volume is by producing items that appear the same or cheaper, but aren't. The first method relies on replacing some of the contents with air. The only noticeable outward change is the package volume description. (i.e. 4 oz. instead of 6 oz.) The second method involves shrinking the packaging and reducing the price ever so subtly that it appears that the original product has undergone an amazing price cut, when in fact, no such price cut has been made, only a new, smaller, product is for sale. i.e. butter, ice cream, and other dairy products.
