Considering that sugar now comes in 4 pound bags made deceptively to look like 5 pound bags for the same price, I would say yes, they are that desperate!

I've seen that with vinegar also. Not often but often enough to be wary. I bought one gallon of organic apple cider vinegar then had to contact the manufacturer when I realized the acidity wasn't even indicated on the label. That was a new one.

that and watch for apple cider flavored white vingar. Came home with a gallon of that once. Not all what I wanted for my canning.
