Hey Jason,
Sounds like it's time to measure what's really in those bottles. A lot of manufacturers put just a bit more into their containers so they don't get cited for shorting the customer (hence the ever-popular "baker's dozen"). Obviously, it wouldn't make economical sense to overfill by very much, but it may be a lot less costly than having banner headlines & lawsuit judgements. I'm betting your overfill guess is close to the mark.
