Maybe you just have a thing about squirty, gloopy things. How about mayonnaise or marmalade? What about the job gloopy? Do you chase the last scrape of butter around the tub? what about the baked bean welded to the bottom of the tin or the last kidney bean lurking in the sludge at the bottom of the tin?
Same here, @BenCotto. That counts as waste, which I find hard to tolerate. Maybe you should start a poll? I’m over 70, female, professional with a working class childhood, and lived all my life in Southern England.
Money Box on Radio 4 yesterday were talking about this. A guy on there said he spent 13 hours trying to cancel his automatic renewal and had to resort to cancelling his direct debit in the end. Esure sent the debt collectors after him though rather than just not renewing the policy. Their tactics are under scrutiny now and hopefully they'll get a fine for it.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I’ve just realised that the latest Febreeze air freshener I’ve bought has shrunk in size from 300ml down to 185ml and yet is the same price! Much smaller canister too.☹️( obviously).
I'm always surprised that people just stick with an insurer instead of checking each year that their cover can't be found cheaper. This is the first year, in a very long time, that I've stayed with my current insurer for buildings and contents, and that's simply because they were still a better price than anyone else. I knew someone who never bothered checking, and they were paying an absolute fortune for a very similar sized house to mine, in the same area. Mine was around 100 quid and hers was 700...

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Unfortunately packaging doesn't always shrink at the same rate as the contents, and many products are deliberately sold in oversized packaging presumably intended to deceive the purchaser.
I think the smaller containers such as you'd get in poundstretchers and the like have become the norm. They wouldn't even have had to engineer new sized containers as they were already in production.
