Pepsi replaced its 32oz Gatorade bottle with a 28oz for the same price.

Nabisco shrunk the family size box of Wheat Thins by 12%.

General Mills shrunk the family size box of Cocoa Puffs by 6%.

Frito-Lay shrunk the size of a bag of Doritos by 5%.

Shrinkflation is everywhere.

I agree 'shrinkflation' is a nasty trend, but it would have been more effective if you had cited things that people actually need. ✌️

@rbreich We used to buy 30 litre bags of kitty litter, now they are 35litres.

@rbreich I still haven't forgiven Haagen-Dasz for downsizing its pints of ice cream to 14 oz and that was awhile ago

Girl Scout cookies, too.

And a weird one I just noticed...I recently bought a bag of "jumbo" cotton balls at the grocery store to replace the ones I ran out of. They are now the size regular cotton balls used to be. And regular cotton balls are now unusable they are so small.

in many cases, the box is the same size, but the inner bag has shrunk or is 1/4 - 1/2 empty.

That's been going on for years. I would rather have liked to see them shrink the amount of plastic used in storing them, which could have been done by half.

The only people they're fooling are the ones who would eat Tide Pods.

@rbreich on the otherside, during pandemic, Stouffer’s decided to rebrand as family sized casserole servings from single serve, switched inner packaging to white plastic, and considerably changed recipes and offerings; I suspect the brand switched corporate ownership again.

@rbreich I am still not buying Haagen dazs nor Tropicana because of this. And those were over a decade past.

@rbreich meanwhile, healthy non-processed foods like fruits and vegetables remain the same size
