Country Crock’s 3-pound tub of butter-like spread is now the 2-pound, 13-ounce tub. The price, however, did not shrink.

This tidbit is according to the Web site MousePrint.org — “exposing the strings and catches buried in the fine print.” The site is full of other examples of corporate sneakiness if you’ve got some reading time.

Check out the photos comparing the old and new tubs. Country Crock told MousePrint it shrunk the spread to prevent raising the price to deal with increased materials costs and other expenses.

Nice. Less for the same price. Does that mean I can work 7/8ths of my day and still get paid for a full day?
