Pretty much every food company is reducing package size, so they can take the rising commodity costs and pass them onto the consumer without him or her knowing about it. Look at potato chips lately? Those little 2 oz bags, now they're like 1.8 or something.

FYI, Braums just did the same thing with their Ice Cream too.

I'll take my local Friendly's ice cream in the half gallon containers for 2.99 over that anyday.

I've been seeing that quite often lately... i also figure out the cost per unit, and while it's usually the "family size" item, more often now it's been the smaller one. Trying to trick people who always assume that larger is cheaper.

When i saw the OP mention taking away his ice cream, i thought they'd stolen it with those damned rotating bagger carousels. Every time i buy more than a couple of items they try to pull that shit on me.

QFT!!! I notice that shit all the time as well and it's almost always a bad idea to buy the products on the end caps no matter what the signage says a bout it being on sale.
