Safeway is having a big sale on Sara Lee bread - if you buy 1 loaf it's

$1.99 ea. And remember it was Sara Lee that introduced the smaller 1 1/4
pound loaf to the marketplace - - no smaller price; only smaller loaf -
- it used to be 1 1/2 lb, but now every bread manufacturer is now going
to 1 1/4 lb - - we should think of a way to really thank Sara Lee - - by
not buying a single Sara Lee loaf of bread on the shelf for the entire
foreseeable future, and spreading the word about this favor Sara Lee has
done us all.

End of rant.

Decreasing the size of something instead of the price is a well-known.
Dannon did it with yogart. Candy companies do it a lot. In fact, the late
Stephen J. Gould, who was a paleontologist and wrote several books, had a
least one chapter on the price and decreasing size of the Hershey bar.

Which Toyota should I drive when I go get all this bread?

Man, you blast me for posting Subaru automotive questions, and then answer
a spammer like he's saying something important.

Whooo....
