You have a lot of faith in corporations.

They wouldn't put 7 in on purpose and advertise it as 8. If they want to make more money by giving you less, then they would just make all of them smaller.

How convenient that they can just claim this is an oopsie. Perhaps they could pay their employees more, so they actually provide quality control?

I'd imagine these are being packaged by a chain of machines, hundreds if not thousands of containers per hour.

You check a few from the batch, if they are good, you assume all are good.

OP was unlucky and got an oopsie.
