yet the packaging would lead you to believe it's been a constant on supermarket shelves. Only when you compare the actual cakes of soaps, with their fine print, can you see the gradual rip-off has been in action multiple times over an extended period of time. Looking at the packs individually, they look the same in size and appearance with all the same essential words, "Palmolive Gold - Daily Deodorant Protection". Put them one after the other, they still look essentially the same and put them side by side you see even the wrapping is identical.

However, the cake of soap inside has been getting smaller at a decreased rate of 29.1667%, using Palmolive's own documented pack weights; 120gNET (oldest control pack we have) down to 85gNET (recent control pack purchased). The actual weights of the packaging appears to remained a constant 5g.

Now is the time for Palmolive to come clean and, at the very least, give us back the 125g soaps. Maybe they should be 130g or bigger, just to compensate us for what has been a slow but deliberately measured rip-off over time that their bean counters probably thought no one would ever notice.

What makes matters even worse, Palmolive's most recent slick product promotion on the back of the greener packaging shouts, "MORE of what you love - LESS of what you don't". Slick marketing that has the potential to make us think we're getting more soap.

One thing is for sure, Palmolive have systematically and incrementally ripped us off for many years and now they must pay us back, or maybe the ACCC needs to get involved?
