Orange juice cartons went down from 64 ounces to 59 ounces back in 2010. Some of them are down to 52 ounces as of earlier this year. THIS year's change was in part due to Hurricane Irma, which destroyed crops. Tropicana knew that raising the price would result in people switching to cheaper products or simply doing without OJ entirely. So instead, they took 7 ounces of juice out of the container. It's kind of ironic that you're just now noticing though, considering this started over 8 years ago.
