That's the Shrink Ray at work. It's a very common way to raise prices. It doesn't often mess up recipes, but there was at least one chocolate chip brand that shrunk from 12 ounces to 10 ounces but didn't adjust the recipe on the package. Some brands are fiendish. A couple of years ago, Mission tortillas reduced the count by 2 tortillas. A while later, they restored the two tortillas and marked the package, "Now With 2 Extra Tortillas."
