Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
They'll just call it something different and hide the size in small print. Or they'll increase the price so that the large is still $.40 per oz since people don't usually do the math these days and just assume larger things are a better deal. A lot of times they aren't anymore because companies don't care as much about selling a lot as they do about profit on the sale due to there not being much competition with all the consolidation.
