They’re careful to make sure the bottle still looks the same from the front, but from the side you can see the difference.

    You’re being downvoted, but I think its because of how you said it, rather than what you meant.

    It’s actually very true that human brains often do poorly at understanding volume.

    I used to work in a bar, and we had two different shapes of glasses. One was shorter than the other but slightly fatter. Both glasses held exactly 1 pint, but customers always thought the shorter glass was smaller.

    And that is exactly the point.

    Manufacturers are depending on psychological tricks like these to give a false impression of how much product they are selling, and it works.

    That’s why we should look at the labels.
