    For how they shrunk the size of their ice cream boxes from 1.75 quarts to 1.5 quarts but did not change the price, of course.

    If you need to raise the price, raise the price. Don't shrink the size of the box... that's pretty sneaky and deceptive. Edy's has been my favorite ice cream brand for some years now, due to their large variety of great flavors (note: Edy's is known as Dreyer's out west), but I won't buy Edy's or Breyer's as long as they keep doing this.

    Because some brands, like Hood and Friendly's, haven't shrunken their boxes. $2.50 for a Hood or Friendly's 1.75 quart box, or $3.20 for a Edy's 1.5 quart one? Hmm, I wonder which is the better deal (and Breyer's is even more expensive than that)... and which isn't trying to decieve its customers by secretly shrinking their box size.

    Heck, Friendly's ice cream actually went DOWN in price recently...

    This stuff has happened before (it used to be 2 quarts per box, a while ago... aka a "half gallon"... until somebody got the brilliant idea to reduce it to 1.75 quarts and everybody else copied them), and it's not a good trend, that's for sure. Similar things have happened with cereal, etc... :(

    Have you seen what Ben and Jerry's charges for those little tiny cups of ice cream? You'd think it had diamonds and flecks of gold in it.

    At least Ben & Jerry's and other premium brands like Häagen-Dazs have high quality ice cream that IS better than the average stuff, though. And they haven't shrunk their package size. But I love ice cream a lot, so this is annoying. :(

    I only go for industrial strength ice cream!

    Actually I tend to stick with the blue bell for my standard ice cream and go for Freckles (otherwise known as custard) ice cream when I want the absolute best.
