Beer Shrink Ray Takes Away .8 Ounces Of Precious Red Stripe

Bad news if you like to sip a Red Stripe beer while snacking on Wheatables. Exported bottles of Red Stripe have been zapped by the Grocery Shrink Ray, shrinking from 12 fluid ounces to 11.2.

“I knew something felt different about the bottle on the right… poor Red Stripe!” wrote our tipster Matthew. Maybe Red Stripe drinkers can revolt and get that .8 ounces restored, like Cascade drinkers did in Australia last year.
