Yah, might be true Radio. My local SaveMart grocery store will sometimes run a store special on a small version of an item (like Tobasco Sauce) making 2 small ones (with more product) cheaper than one big one (with less product).
I shake my head and chuckle when I see both sizes having been pulled from the shelf. Only some people "get it".
We use Evaporated milk in many cooking items here (long story). Manager bought a big lot of "weird", small sized cans. About half sized. They didn't sell well. Big cans sell for $0.99 to $1.19 "depending". Little cans were not selling at all and after a month or so I walked in and saw a sign "Manager Special" $0.10 / small can.
I bought 'em all. About 100 cans!! Saved about $50.00 Why weren't people buying the small ones even then at $0.10?
Small ones aren't always more expensive "per" in CD Sleeves, Tobasco Sauce and evaporated milk... Occasionally, anyway

Mo-betta for us that can do at least simple maths
