PSA: new way for manufacturers to skive on what they sell. Just did a load of washing with a new bottle of laundry liquid. Clear bottle that was full to the top. Undid the top, and the vacuum released and the level of laundry liquid in the bottle dropped by about 2-3 cm. They’d squeezed the bottle when filling it to make it look a lot fuller than it was. Didn’t think to measure the amount of liquid but will next time.
Argh. Like opening a box of something and finding it is mostly cardboard packer, or the way Toblerone bits have been double spaced. Aggravation and lies.
Um, I was thinking of tubes of toothpaste. When you change the topography of the outside layer by squeezing, the inside volume goes down. The difference here is that the shape of the bottle springs back which does not happen with toothpaste.

not a scam
the volume of soap remains the same
the bottle sags a bit when filled
it’s sealed under vacuum to stop it from leaking in transit
Agree. It’s like the air in a packet of chips. Acts as a cushion.
