    This feels like an episode of Seinfeld: George being enraged at shrinkflation and getting back at the stores with the help of Kramer. 😂

    The cereal boxes are so thin that they tip over on the shelves.

    That's why whenever I shop, either in person or online, I basically shop by the price/unit (dollars per 100 grams, per unit, whatever). I never look at the base price, the brand, or anything like that.

    I've noticed when a product runs out on a grocery shelf and is gone for a few days, it's a sign that it will be smaller when restocked. That prevents you from comparing sizes.

    If snack companies complain about costs going up , so they're giving you less Potato Chips, Pretzels, etc, then why are they still making the bags so big? Can't they SAVE money by making a SMALLER bag?

    Bananas have three stages. Yellow it is starchy, brown spots is a sign it's turning to sugar. All brown it's time to make banana nut bread.

    Would love to see the FRAUD in advertising addressed. Like the burger portrayed as being 6inches tall but when purchased would be large only to toddler!
    Make them purchase a random burger at the franchise and photograph that!!😡

    Shrinkflation doesn't have anything to do with saving on ingredients, the idea is there's less product so that customers have to purchase more frequently shorting the buying cycle thus increasing profits.

    Food items should all have to be in measurements. Standard measurements, either metric or imperial.
    It's 8 oz, 16 oz, not 7.35 oz. Not 13.45 oz. You know what I mean?

    I remember when ice cream went from half gallon containers to whatever goofy size it is now. I don't know if that was shrinkflation, a metric thing or a push for people to eat less ice cream. Also, Girl Scout cookies have been comically reducing the amount of cookies in the package for years while also raising the prices astronomically. They are able to hide behind the "it's for the kids".

    On this topic, one that's real bad is an ingredient label not listing the percentages of the ingredients. For "sprouted" bread, the first ingredient is typically "sprouted wheat berries", but then the next is sometimes "wheat flour". The buyer doesn't know how much of the bread is even sprouted. The amount of regular wheat flour could be nearly as much as sprouted flour, and this is an important product for people with digestive issues and the people running the companies just do not care. The purposes of creating a corporation are dark. Once a group of people cross that threshold, they view themselves as having limited liability, and as just people holding an asset class with the sole purpose of making money.

    Seems like most people forgot how to do math. YOu can figure out how much per ounce you are paying and find the best price. Some stores do this for you.
