I emailed Chobani about the change, this is the response I got:
Good Evening Michelle:
We believe that people have great taste, they just need great options. In helping create the Greek Yogurt category six years ago we came out with a 6 oz. cup size for our core line.
After careful consideration, we decided to transition to the category standard of 5.3 oz. to help eliminate any confusion comparing products on the shelf, which we believe will continue to help our consumers choose great options.
We have held steady at a suggested retail price of $1.29 for five years - through a period when others have increased prices due to more external costs. We've chosen to maintain the price so we can stay consistent with the market.
Chobani is a manufacturer and we do not regulate the final cost of the product to the consumer. However, we would be happy to send you some money saving coupons to help offset the cost.

I noticed the switch with coffee beans. A bag of beans used to be 1 lb, but now 12 oz is standard.
I also hate when companies keep the outer packaging the same, but there's less product inside. False advertising! "This product is sold by weight, not volume." Fuck that.
I LOVE the Greek Gods strawberry, though it's almost too rich even for me. I believe it's whole/ full fat. Anybody else not on the 0% wagon?
Team no 0%. And I love Greek Gods. I am not a strawberry person (unless we are talking actual fresh strawberries) so I buy Greek Gods plain and then add frozen raspberries. Love.
