is it my eyes or did Campbell Soup start making there portions smaller
on the canned soup.
I dont have an older can around to check, but it sure looks like it.
Guess they think no one will notice.
This can is 10 3/4 OZ.
 Thanks, Tony

I haven't held a can of Campbell's Soup for years, but they have always
been 10-ish ounces.

Cans come in standard sizes. I don't know what the number of the
normal small soup can is. I just checked my soup can, not Cambells,
and the net weight it 10.5ozs. The can is completely full. So you are
doing OK.
Another way to consider the value in a given product line is to
compare the total calorie count for the whole package. For example, a
small can of tomato paste is 33¢ where I shop and a larger can of
tomato sauce is only 25¢.  The paste is more dense, has more calories
and is a better value to me. You can count the calories and tell it
contains more tomato product than the slight price difference. Add
your own water and spices if you want sauce.

I vaguely remember them as 298g so sounds about right.

But the serving size seems to be 2/5 of a can which is rather odd. Has
anyone ever opened a can and only used 2/5 (or 4/5 between two) of the
contents?

AS someone once said, "Two can live as cheaply as on if one is an
elephant and the other is a bird."
I'd be the elephant myself. I always eat the whole can. If you diluted
it and had small children, 2/5 would work. If you also had a dog, you
could go 2/5, 2/5, and 1/5 for the dog. Sometimes the companies
configure these serving sizes so the calorie number looks better.
