Small portions appeal to a different market segment than those that buy in bulk. A richer segment, which holds it a higher cost to have extra calories in the house which will offset the difference in price for the big package. At a guess.
Expiration dates could also be involved.
Onthe other hand we live in the crazy years so it could just be a lack of math comprehension.
Could also be selling out (discontinued) larger packages to make room for new (“inflation? what inflation? It’s the same price it’s always been!”) smaller ones.
Given the massive one-cent discount for using a “please track my shopping habits” card, though, I’ll take the Hanlon’s Razor option.
