  1. They now have a new “MEGA SiZE cereal box. That’s what they do. Overtime the Shrink the size. And reintroduce a new mega size as before at a higher price. We have been getting ripped off for years !

  2. Why doesn't the Media investigate the Media? I wonder what would be found there?

  4. It’s all Joe Biden’s fault!!! – DAMN (Destroying AMerica Now)

  5. I’m glad this is funny with the dummy y’all got into office .

  6. You forgot to mention the size of tp sheets has shrunk too. Many brands rolls are getting narrower and narrower. If you have a standard tp holder the narrowing is quite apparant. It's almost possible with some brands to put 2 rolls side by side in an older house tp holder.

  7. They STILL get MILLIONs of DOPES to PAY for WATER!!!!!

  8. They also are changing the product itself, either by watering down or additives and fillers.

  9. Just call it what it is: corporate greed.

  10. 2:21 "Do you guys need a Loan?!" Cackle cackle. "Not me…" Complete elitists. Don't even hear themselves.

  11. It's laughable to watch the GMA reporters report on SKRINKFLATION, when in fact, they are unaffected by the higher costs based on their salaries. You never see any of them worried or complain. I'd rather have someone report on the matter who can relate to average Americans.

  12. They had started doing this less in a package back under the recession the last term of Bush Jr .I doubt they after the recession back then brought the packages on up to the level as before .Now are doing it again . Pretty soon you will go by something like a bag of grapes .But you will think there is allot of them in the package .But when you open it up .It will be just a handful of grapes .With the inside package backing just pictures of allot of grapes .

  13. I have shrinkflation in my pants

  14. Who are you kidding?! We are WAY past shrinkflation! I feel like I am in a whole other world these days, like Rip Van Winkle, or someone that fell into a time warp and came back: inflation is so bad I can't conceive of surviving like I have. Somehow I don't think gun control is going to save us.

  15. Sleepy joe Fukin up everything in America !!!

  16. if we follow the coffee company logic.. i guess the toiletpapers are the same amount as before.. its just the newer one that makes u need less!

  17. SUCCESS.super.oke.yuby.

  18. Y’all can thank Biden —

  19. the romans invented this with their coins they called it clipping….

  20. Funny this popped up. Got a Medium iced caramel machiatto this morning which looked like a small. Definitely wasn't a 16oz. It was smaller then a 12oz can for 3.69$. Mcds has inflation and shrinkage going on.

  21. Just spent the most money at the grocery store I ever had in my entire life ….while my job asked me to take a pay cut because of the market & economy …..thanks Brandon …..FJB

  22. definitely noticed candy bars have been getting smaller over the years. soon they'll be selling us an empty wrapper.

  23. What a load of bullshit! Food is doubling in price right in front of our eyes! Do these companies think we are stupid?

  24. Finally American Obesity is solved

  25. If you dont like this, you dont like capitalism.

  26. People just need to get a better job. Stop being lazy.

  27. And yet the Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, insists that the solution to solving inflation is cutting wages. No, the solution is ending this blatant corporate greed, of companies cutting the amount of product you get far exceeding inflation.

  28. Even clothes are shrinking. I had to order up a size 🥹

  29. Folgers price did come down at Costco, it was 11.99 now it’s 8.49. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  30. The Maduro diet is now the Biden plan.

  31. That explains why my Kitt-Kats are a 1/2 shorter!

  32. ABC is a little slow on the uptake here, I guess it's protect Brandon at all cost.
