Volume = TT R^2 x H .... One looks slightly wider.

300mL at the price of 325?

Fun size candy is so small you can fucking snort it now.

Looks like two different cans, probably sold in different places for different prices. My WD40 is 250 ml so the can on the right is accurate

Corporate math: Bigger can + smaller contents = premium pricing. Inflation's newest magic trick - making less feel like more while charging extra for the illusion.
wyliefox
Perhaps they use the same size cannisters but don't fill the 275ml one up all the way to the brim.

False comparison. It's 25ml more than the 250.can. That's like complaining that 3 cups of ice cream claiming to be 50% more than a pint isn'
mrsdowneyjr
t as big as a quart
ArandomDane
275ml extra in comparison to the 250ml bottle...
AlterSack
+25ml is still true. +25ml profit in their purse…
MarkusAwesomesauce
I was curious. I'm always skeptical about things like this. That makes sense. I would guess the right can is older than the left.
possumattack
The canister might be the same, but the amount filled could be greater?
cantthinkofaclevernameatm
My thoughts exactly. Maybe they changed something inside the can, making more room? Ive never seen the inside of those, so...

misleading pic is misleading

Double-plus good, eh
Angel337
I mean, you have to look at price as well. If the can on the right sells for the same as a 250 ml can, then this is fine
duffman3335
Both cans are 300ml. The can on the right is priced at the 275ml price, but as a promo, they added 25ml for free. There, solved it.
W92Baj
Priced at 250ml price but in a 300ml sized can (with some space in it)
AntiProtonBoy
Maybe they added 25 ml to 250 ml priced product, but they had to use a 300 ml volume can to make it actually fit.
W92Baj
Exactly. I've just been called a moron for suggesting this because they won't tool a new 275ml can for manufacturing
88wut
Maybe…show us the cost of both items?
Tarmaccian
But then how would we get that precious self-righteous outrage?!?! /s
Flexiblewarmth
Maybe the service offering sequence was the 250 1st then the 300 released as standard? I can't find info about it.
MarkySpaceMagnet
Can't read the full label, 25 ml more than what? There are so many different sizes of WD40 cans.
toddthewraith
it apparently comes in gallon cans.

Shrinkflation
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
yeah, looks shady. maybe the difference is one has less propellant leaving room for more nut juice.
MrBailey22
Hey honey…pass me the cam of nut juice
DreadCarcass
Or maybe 275 plus 25 is 300 if you bothered to read the cans...
HurrDurrImABurr
Yeah, read the can. "Jetzt mit 275ml statt 250ml" Now with 275ml instead of 250ml
W92Baj
You cant fit 275ml in a 250ml can so they use the next size up, the 300ml. They arent gonna spend the money for tooling for a new sized can.
Nacon
It's the same size... 300ml. 275+25= 300 It doesn't say "250". Where did you get that extra zero from?
W92Baj
It's not 275+25. It's 250+25. First off the can label gives the actual size - 275, second, the label says 250+25
Nacon
You are a complete moron, and the marketing team is happy that you think like this.

The smaller can on the right is used to open the bigger can on the left. Source: Hank Hill

Can confirm
AntRam95
To me the most baffling part of this is the holster for the smaller can

What u gon have that big can dangling and jangling in your holster c'mon now. Be real.

That's a visual representation of a form of inflation. Going to see a lot of that in the coming years. Important to compare unit costs
Krimzonbear
Recipe changes as well. things will never taste the same. (Foil lined Corn pops)
MyNameIsJesusAndIStealHubcapsFromCars
this is an old picture. this has literally been happening the entire time.
putcleverusernamehere
Also IIRC these changes are not included in inflation calculations as it's a different package. Saw shaving cream go up 25% overnight
putcleverusernamehere
Actual real inflation is probably in the mid-high teens and has been for years. Comparing milk, eggs and bread doesn't tell the real story
AbeFromanSausageKingOfChicago
Marketing semantics. +25 Extra! Compared to what? It’s like saying “low fat” or “half the sugar!”….of what?
meauho
+25ml more than the 250ml can. It says it on the label
westellar
... in the coming years? I work retail and see this all the time. It's been happening constantly, forever. Though certainly more, recently.
AnotherSliceOfPizzaPlease
It for sure has been ongoing problem. No doubt. But all the lost profits last couple years are going to put it into overdrive.
TravelingSamSam
In my state, all prices are displayed alongside $.XX per ounce. "Family Size" is often more expensive.
vindik8or
Same in Australia, but it's a worthless for uncovering shrinkflation if you don't have the old packaging to compare to.
AnotherSliceOfPizzaPlease
Family sizes were the original sizes, since rebranded after the smaller ones were released and established.

The duct tape rolls are smaller and the bailing wire is shorter. How the heck am I supposed to fix anything around here?
NotAHugeSpider
PinbotWizard
Wait! Bailing wire isn't on my flowchart.
mikecaa
I grew up on a farm in Indiana. I can assure you, it should be on the chart. (chart is awesome, btw).
req4adream99
It’s a split from the duct tape side
mikecaa
Basically it's a "does it need to move" question. Bailing wire works better on car doors but duct tape works better on side mirrors.

Last time this was posted, someone pointed out that this sku was normally a 250ml can

2) it might be the 250ml can its extra to, but then they could be not selling the 300ml anymore. or after this they'll raise the price of

having a container with "extra!" still is common when a company wants to fiddle with how much they want to charge per oz/lb/whatever

3) the 250ml can while replacing the design of it with a slightly different looking can to further confuse the consumer.

turn your phone around to see the back of the can

be from different markets from each other. Maybe they sell 250ml in france and 300ml in >>

Germany, so a 250ml can with 25ml "free" seems comical when a neighboring market sells them in 300ml cans by default. //
