Hi:

Question for Mr. Consumer:

I'm as appalled as anyone at the way candy companies, as you say, enlarge the size of their boxes to create the false impression that they contain more than they actually do. (The opposite of -- or rather the complement to -- shrinkflation, I suppose.) But to play the devil's advocate for a second, for anyone who takes the time to look (which is probably almost no one), don't the boxes give the gross weight of their contents, so that you could comparison shop if you wanted to? I guess the candy companies could lie about that too, but it seems unlikely.
