Shrinkflation.

[bob smith]

i have had it up to here!!

just bought a box of pringles that was literally only half full

bought a roll on deodrant the other day that said 30% extra, only the extra 30% wasnt even there! it was just an airgap that was covered with the 30% extra label.

ice creams getting smaller,

so are chocolate bars

bags of chips with more air than actual chips

peanut bags half full

coke being sold at 1L, 1.25, 1.5

 

what the hell is this!!

prices are rising

products are shrinking.

 

what the hell is going on and why the eff arent more people talking about it!

 

whatever happened to buy 1 get 1 free or buy 2 get the third free even.

 

There is something really rotten going on in the foods/goods sector at the moment.

I am never too sure if things are getting smaller or my eyesight is getting worse as I age

Rather than increase the price by 20% they reduce the size. Has less impact on sales.

Sourdough loaf in Tops now looks like a large bread roll. Must be almost 50% smaller than it used to be.

Those mars and snickers I see in 7/11 almost look like what once used to be called a mars mini in size lol. I hate the pringles too, it's really way bigger than needed, then just charge me a bit more and fill it up entirely at least.

Cornflakes they are also scammers with the boxes.

[bignok]

Watch the movie Falling Down in the Korean shop. Hilarious

Mcvities biscuits, the diameter and thickness of the biscuit seem smaller.

 

Big C croissants and Doughnuts -A short time ago they were much bigger and I think cost about 6 baht each. Now they are noticeably smaller and cost 12 baht

Junk food is getting smaller i.e. chocolate bars but people are getting fatter, small portions only makes people fat
