Well first they rounded off the edges a little bit and put a removable lid on top instead of that flap thing with the right angle corners, but they kept them half a gallon in size. They did that for a good decade or so, so we really got used to it. But then, with the rounded corners, they were able to just do a little more rounding, and put a little taper on the sides, and the top and height remained the same, but the size dropped down to 1.75 quarts. Then a year or two later, they rounded them off a bit more and increased the taper, and we're currently at 1.5 quarts.

Oh, here. I found a picture. Including one of the old folded cardboard cartons that was actually a half gallon.
