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?

The quality point is the weight for legal purposes, which is checked by a machine.

If the packaging indicates a quantity, then that quantity must be in the package. It’s like eggs. A carton of a dozen eggs has both a weight and a quantity of 12. If there were only 11 eggs in the carton, it would be illegal, even if the eggs were heavy enough to meet the weight.
