But do we notice when the box contains only 15 ounces instead of the 18 ounces it used to hold?

I’d gather the glass bottles in a big garbage bag pilfered from my own dorm’s kitchen, and when I got all I could carry, I would start toward the grocery store a block off campus, the bag bumping along behind me, clink-clink-clinkety-clink.
