I have seen jars of sauce that have less and the physical size is less. This picture they look like the same size, so this pisses me off more. It is like they are trying to hide it…. maybe in real life you can tell the jar is smaller though?

The new jar actually has a lot more content than the used jar

Maybe the same content but less dense.

Oh man OP, I’d love to see the rest of the label to figure out the exact difference. Is it a smaller bottle, did the formula change, is it a change in regulation for how things are rounded? I’m just curious and interested in things like that.

Probably cost more too

I wish I could like it. There is something offputting in there likely the fermented soy beans or something like that…
Great product though

They charge you the same price for less product.

What do you use this stuff for?

This could be a situation where they were finding that getting 700g into the jars constantly was posing a problem. Either the machinery or the jars were making it so that they had occasional units that were 689 or 693 grams or something.
That’s a problem if your package lists more product than the customer is getting. You could spend a lot of time and money upgrading or recalibrating your packing line equipment, or you could just change the label to a weight that you’ll never fail to exceed.
There is no penalty for you packing containing **more** product than promised.

My wife loves what I call “old grandma”. But sure doesn’t like it when i call it that.

Since its the same jar and appears to still be filled my assumption would be that they realized the old measurement was incorrect so they updated it.

I just watched a video about that stuff being illegal in the us due to the meat or something

Where’s the dude that said he found a sharp chicken bone in his. Nightmare fuel.

It looks like the lid, and thus neck, is smaller, which probably accounts for the difference

Everything is getting smaller. My favorite granola bars are so much smaller now that visually they look like you broke an old bar in half. Well it’s all my favorite granola bars. A small box of brand name cereal is outrageously priced, and our fav coffee is twice what it was just a year ago. . . I wonder if anything that has happened in year since had a direct effect on this stuff???

Shrinkflation!
Shrinkflation crisp
I’d guess it has less oil and more “dry” content?
More like mildlyinfuriating
This stuff is so good
Disappointed Grandma brand
It’s the Lite version
why is seong gihun on your chili oil
I literally just their hot chili sauce 10 seconds ago with lunch. Now I gotta buy the sesame oil.
You think with all this shrinkflation and higher prices I’d be losing weight but NO LOL
I would consider making my own. It’s super easy and should take you under 90 minutes to make a jar like that.
Technically it looks like it has more content to me
Even the guy on the label looks pissed
This makes me angrier than it should. Everything is getting more expensive but Laoganma is where I draw the line.
Or it is 8% more honest, who knows.
I like the spicy chili crisp, myself, but it’s all so good there’s no bad Lao Gan Ma.
How? Is there a big dent in the base like a wine bottle or what?
Really? It looks a lot more full to me
