Dont really see how this is asshole design, from the front its visible where the cream is in the jar?. When buying and lifting it, volume or weight is visible and you can turn it over to check. Nothing was hidden.
If this design really isn’t asshole design, then why are they still doing it like this? It’s pretty obviously supposed to look like it has more content than it does rn; and even if you do realize what’s going on, this makes it way harder to guess the amount of the contents. A number for gram amount is ok, but your brain really guesses by looking at the content, not the number.

but as the cream came in a cardboard box, I couldn’t have guessed that it’d be so small.
Then the design of the bottle couldnt have an influence on your purchase decision either.
yes it could have, the increased bottle size would require a larger box

I once bought a tube of food grade sealant that looked like an effervescent aspirin/vitamin tube:
Turns out it was several times larger, that was even stated in the volume specs, but you’re right, one does guesstimate based on a picture first.
