Current Events > shrinkflation is real

(+) Yeah! (+)

bought a couple boxes of nutri grain bars because the store had them on display right when I walked in and they were on sale.

these are probably less than 50% of the size they were last time I bought them. I could literally eat this shit in one bite if I wanted to.

it was always real greedflation is also real make more money give us less product and make tons more money

just take solace in the fact that absolutely nothing will be done about it, corporations have done a real good job of paying off all those who would dare hold them accountable for their greed

Watch out for any changes in the design of the packaging for any products you regularly buy, because that kind of change usually happens at the same time the package gets shrunk in size.

At some point, companies kinda caught onto the fact that they can just charge whatever for the shittiest products possible, and nobody is going to do anything about it.

i mean Biden did try to with the price gouging bill but that was killed by the republicans

Population is also just too defeated and divided to even protest over any of this too. They have riots in France yet we just sit back and take it every time. We've given up and have no spirit left.

Brah boxes of cheez-its are comically small now. They look like a prop a character in an Adam McKay movie would use to explain shrinkflation

Same realization this week.

I had the macros of a protein almond bar memorized. Had been buying them for years. They seemed kinda smaller lately.

Yep, less calories, etc.

Good news, it means less calories. Bad news, it's worst value for your buck. It fucking sucks.
