For real, I've never seen an 8.9 oz box of cereal until now. That is TINY! Used to be cereal was over 10 oz, even 12 oz.

I believe they've been selling a 9-ish oz box for some time, perhaps now slightly shrunk. All their other size boxes have shifted around in size too. What I really don't understand is why they sell an 18 oz and a 20 oz box. Who out there is saying, "Nah, that extra 2 oz is just too much for me to handle. Gonna go with the 18 to be safe." (That said, the 18 often is the better deal than the 20, so maybe I've answered by own question... It might be trickery on people who overpay for the 20, expecting the larger size to be more cost effective.)
WIC approved size probably

All I know is that, after 1-2 times, it's almost gone. So, I'm not impressed. It use to be that a box would last me 1-2 weeks. We are talking times now. The metric has changed. This is what they base profits on now. If consumers have adapted what is cheap, change the product to look like it was, so similar enough cardbox size with much more space.

It's absurd, and definitely right about how consumers have to adapt and their perceptions shift. My kids eat a lot of Cheerios, so I'm constantly stocking up when I see prices below .19/oz. Usually this means getting bigger boxes to be more cost-effective. Recently the parent of my kid's friend saw a box on our kitchen counter and seemed surprised over how "massive" the box of Cheerios was. Maybe it's because the box itself said it was "Mega Sized." But it was just a 24 oz box -- yes, that's as large as most cereal boxes get these days, but pretty standard size cereal box if you're feeding a family and not living in a city apartment. But the goalposts have moved, where many people see a 12-18 oz box and think that's large (because those are now priced like large boxes, and brands will label them as "family size" or "super size" to give the impression that you're getting a deal).
