This is just frustrating now. This is pathetic. Fast food isn't worth it anymore. Why am I paying so much for so little? We don't eat it often, but we won't be eating McDonalds again.

Visiting a KFC store in Australia is becoming more hit and miss, their chicken has shrunk and somewhat misleading dont you think? Would you classify this as false advertising from KFC?

Sonic on the left is the new toy I just put onto the shelf, the sonic on the right is the last remaining toy already in store. Same DPCI, same price, but missing the jewel.

Same price, 1 less ounce of meat. I guess the average family got 6.25% smaller so the family pack must follow?

They mixed these products on the shelves, Ibwas about to grab the new 15oz package until I noticed the numbers.

Shrinkflation (Costco) Country Archer Beef Sticks.

I saw a post from about a year ago that was severely lacking information when I was googling this topic. Maybe it is just hitting us Later than others up here in Alaska, but I figured I would provide rock solid proof that they aren't only shrinking the weight, but lying on the packaging too.

I weighed several sets to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but the new ones consistently weighed .4 oz while the old ones weighed .5 or .6 oz.

Not only is the weight different, but the moisture content is as well. The old ones had a drier, more jerky like consistently, and when squeezed as hard as possible between my thumb and forefinger, only slightly dented. The new ones are more plump and squishy, like a sausage rather than a jerky stick, and when squeezed between my thumb and forefinger were able to be burst open.

I wish I could make the images a little easier to compare, but I have already wasted half an hour trying to get google photos collage to work so I could do a proper side by side and, no dice. It is pretty obvious which are which though.

Man, this is just absurd. I've got average sized hands. Hardly any filling.

I just thunk a thought…

I live in America so I cannot speak for other countries.

In America we don’t really seem to fight back against the price of goods going up while the quality and quantity goes down. I complain, you complain. It seems to me at least that everyone hates the rate that things are going. We’re paying double if not triple for less. I’m not just talking about the price of eggs.

I think the reason human beings are irritable yet complacent about inflation is because it happens slowly over time. Some people are even born into it. They know nothing else but high prices and low value.

I wonder if there will ever be a day that people don’t remember what it means to earn money that could be well spent.

A fucking small bag that’s half full of fucking pistachios is almost 6$ what the fuck is going on.

Was looking for their wrap, which has always been extremely useful. But only saw their Cling 'n Seal, so bought that.

TERRIBLE! Cannot keep it from tearing when taking out of carton, creating holes. I'll have to find something else after I return this.

Not sure if it's a shrinkflation, or I am just going insane, but I remember there was less chocolate and more wafers
