As you pick up a bottle of orange juice at a grocery store, you might notice something different—the size of the bottle.

Tropicana, America’s largest domestic orange juice producer and retailer, has changed its package from 59 fluid ounces to 52 fluid ounces while leaving the price unchanged. The downsizing has caused a stir.
