Shrinkflation isn't just annoying, it's pure evil

Let me tell you about shrinkflation. It's when companies get greedy af and give you less for the same price, tricking you into thinking you're not getting ripped off. Noticed my cereal box is lighter? Yeah, they shrank it from 500g to 420g, same box size, same price, but hey, the characters on the box are still smiling at you like nothing's wrong. Pisses me right off.

Guess we should thank the corporates for helping us diet, amirite? Haha, less cereal per serving = weight loss goals achieved.

It's a systematic ploy, man. Shrink the goods, get us used to it, then hike the prices once we've forgotten what a full-sized box feels like. Next thing, we'll be paying double for half :/

It's bad for our wallets but let's think about the environment too for a second. Same size box, less product means more waste. Like, we really needed more cardboard going to the dump. Companies should shrink the packaging too!

I noticed that with candy bars. Like, suddenly I'm holding this thing that's barely more satisfying than a fun-size. Thought it was just me getting bigger hands or something. Nope, it's shrinkflation alright.

It's a strategic move to maintain profit margins cuz inflation, but yeah, still sucks. Evrything's being downsized. It's not just cereal, it's chips, drinks, toilet paper... The list goes on, mate.

Cereal's a rip-off anyway. I buy in bulk and make my own mixes now. Cheaper, healthier, and you control the portion like a boss. Take that, cereal barons!

Always gotta check the unit price, folks. Stores have it on the price tag most of the time. Beat them at their own game.

Hate this sneaky stuff. It's like they think we won't notice? But we do, we always do.
