Grinding fine

So, here’s an interesting (to me) variant on shrinkflation, the practice of vendors in the food supply chain of reducing the amount of product you find in packaging but charging the same price.

For some reason, Trader Joe has put 1.3 ounces of rainbow peppercorns in a slightly taller jar than before:

I only noticed it because the new grinder top they switched to doesn’t do a good job of actually grinding the peppercorns, so I put one of the older tops on. 

Then they changed the threads on the screw portion, so I have to pour the peppercorns into one of the older jars to make it work.

I have absolutely no idea what they gain from this, but there it is.
