I am so disgusted with these companies, but it seems to be the thing to do, even though the consumer would rather pay a little more and keep the same size. And I e-mailed them that (and more!)

Anyway, has anyone ever tried using an 8 x 12 pan to compensate for less batter? Would that work for some recipes do you think? Instead of making a skimpy 9 x 13 cake?...if you don't have another cake mix to add that 1/3 more cup?

Or are they trying to make the same portion (same amount of eggs, water and oil) with less dry batter mix? Resulting in an inferior finished product...

Sorry to hang on this subject, but this is bothering me for some reason - they are so deceptive and greedy, it really gets to me{#emotions_dlg.mad} Plus I make a lot of recipes starting with a cake mix. And with a bundt cake you would really notice the difference.
