Say this for Canadians: they won't lie down and take it when people mess with their bagged milk. On Tuesday, The Globe and Mail reported that customers complained after Saputo, a Montreal-based dairy company, shrunk the size of its Neilson bagged milk from four litres to three last year. The change prompted angry complaints from social media users.

Thought my bag of milk felt light. Neilson Trutaste is now 3 litres...and doesn't fit milk jug. #neilsonTrutasteSuckspic.twitter.com/TvoaeOdluN — Beata Hilliard (@thebetaforce) September 26, 2015

The price per bag was also dropped from $6.79 to $5.19 — though, as the Globe noted, that also marked a volumetric price increase of $0.03 per litre. Saputo has since apologized, telling one dissatisfied customer, "We understand that this change was not favourably received by many of our consumers and we are sorry. "Based on the feedback received, we've realized that for many of our loyal customers, the 4L bag was simply a better format. And so, we've listened." The company also offered that customer a four-litre bag of milk for free. Saputo's apology is proving popular with social media users.

Thanks #Saputo for the free bag of milk. Totally prefer the 4L version and glad you went back to it! pic.twitter.com/uxWDtVN7ju — Wayne McCallum (@WayneMcCallum) May 27, 2016
