This is a common tactic to disguise a price increase.

If the price per bag goes up, most women notice at once, and many start looking at prices elsewhere. If the weight per bag goes down, the majority don't notice it.

This trick has been used for decades in the chocolate industry, with astonishing success.

Why is October the 10 month instead of the 8 month?

In the early Roman calendar there were only 10 months in the year with October being the 8th month and December being the 10th and final month of the year. It was Julius Caesar who introduced two more months in the year which was known as the Julian Calendar thus making October the 10th month of the year and December then became the 12th and final month of the year.

Why is February 29th chosen to be the leap day over December 32?

February is short, so adding an extra day doesn't ever make it longer than any other month. February is short because a Caesar, Augustus, stole a day from it so his month (August, respectively) would be 31 days instead of the original 30. When the need for leap year was discovered it was only reasonable to add it back to the shortest month of February. Also, in the Roman calendar February was the last month, so it was also reasonable to add the leap day onto the last month of the year.


Is one calendar month from 20th of one month to 20th what month?

Yes. A calendar month can be from a date in one month to the corresponding date in the next month, so the 20th to the 20th of the next month qualifies as being a calendar month.
