For over a decade I've said the same thing. So I buy 2 liter bottles of soda to refill my 20 oz bottle. I actually got my wife doing this too. I bet we've saved thousands by now doing that.

I've saved a lot in a similar way. I get the 2-liters because they're cheaper, so I save some money there. Then I just chug the whole thing down, so my @ss is so fat now that I can't get out the door to go shopping, so now I'm really saving it hand over fist.

How about the bathroom tissue whose campaign was an animated bear singing a catchy little jingle, "Less is more." What an insult! There giving us less but it is really more? What idiot believed that one? I think they have now cancelled that campaign - haven't seen it in a while.

Ice cream is usually sold by volume rather than weight. The ice cream makers can inject more and more air into the ice cream and still sell a quart without reducing the volume. Have you ever stirred the ice cream to get the air out of it and noticed how little there is compared to what you started with?
