Grocery Shrink Ray Zaps 2 Slices Out Of Sargento Cheddar Package

Megan was shopping for cheese at Target over the weekend, as many sensible people do, and she noticed something strange about the pre-sliced packages of Sargento cheddar. It came in two different sizes, which had the same price. Yes, it turns out that one of them was the victim of the Grocery Shrink Ray, taking the total from 20 slices to 18, depriving customers of enough slices to make an entire grilled cheese sandwich.

She sent along some photos: here’s an enlarged version in case you’re on a smartphone screen. Indeed, the product page on Sargento’s site also has this particular cheese with only 18 slices.
