It's kind of sad to say, but I agree with you (not on the trannys). I just got an 8 pack at CVS and noticed the same thing. They were only the size of a quarter. But the good news is that I caught them on having the wrong sign on the shelf (for another product)and I made them honor the deal on the sign ($3).
But the other good news I'm going to take from this is, I'm not into trannys.
