For example,, Kleenex recently cut back five sheets for every Ultra Soft tissue box, and Sparkle reduced its paper towel roll by six sheets.
It may not seem like a lot, but the missing few become more noticeable over time, especially with the cycles of downsizing year after year.

Angel Soft suffered an even worse blow, with the Mega Roll going from 425 to 320 sheets per roll – while prices stayed the same.Dworsky also took note of the newest packaging for Arm & Hammer detergent, which claims that 67.5 ounces can clean the same 50 loads of laundry as the previous jug of 75 ounces. It's difficult to understand how this could be the case.
