Every time I buy something lately, the package looks the same… but the content magically shrinks.
- Pasta used to be 500g, now it’s 450g (soon we’ll be buying “personal snack size” spaghetti).
- Razor blade packs? Still the same box, but 4 instead of 5 blades.
- Chips? 80% nitrogen, 20% disappointment.
- Chocolate bars? One day they’ll sell us ¾ of a bar and slap a “fun size” label on it.
- Even detergent bottles: same shape, but suddenly “concentrated” with fewer ml.
It’s not just inflation anymore , I think it’s "shrinkflation", and to me it feels like legalized pickpocketing.
What’s the worst example you’ve spotted recently? It seems we all just slowly accepting the “less product, same price” lifestyle...
