Packaging has stayed the same size but the content has decreased 50%

Edit: Thank you all for pointing out these are infact two different types of fruits. I guess I really am fruit blind.

I did not have the older raspberry packaging, so I am comparing to the older strawberry packaging still in my freezer, of the same line/brand. All new packages are now 300g while the older packaging was 600g. Once (or if) I buy these again, I will snap a picture of the new 300g strawberry packaging.

Here is a comparison of older Blueberry packaging of 600g still in my freezer, the ones in store are now 300g.

    I’ve worked for Loblaw (They own this brand, President’s Choice, and are probably Canada’s largest grocer).

    They have this line of product called Always $10. It’s a package of food that’s pretty much devoid of branding except that the $10 price is part of the packaging and not a sticker. Twice a year we get planograms (a merchandising guide / map to make sure all displays across the company are the same) where we have to change all the Always $10 stuff.

    It’s always the exact same product, but smaller.

    Loblaw’s in the news recently for settling a class-action lawsuit over colluding with other retailers to fix the price of bread. That’s right, a bread cartel. And like, sure, a settlement isn’t an admission of guilt. But a monolith like this doesn’t settle unless they think they can lose, and they wouldn’t think they could lose unless they did a bunch of illegal shit.
