11\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0Lord<\/span>\u00a0detests dishonest scales,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>but accurate weights find favor with him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nI thought about this verse the other day as I opened up a brand-new<\/em> box of cereal. The box made it look like I was getting a lot of cereal — making it look like a decent value for the price. But when I opened it up, it was about half full (I realize some of this occurs by pushing out the box as the contents settle, but come on!). In fairness, I realize that the amount of the cereal is written on the box, but the manufacture likely kept the size of the box the same but decreased the amount that they put within it. They kept the price the same, but changed the quantity sold.<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span>\u00a0shrinkification<\/a> of items seems to be happening more these days — as companies don’t want to change their prices, so they’ll change the amounts of their products that you get. <\/span><\/p>\n
