With supply chains backed up across the globe and inflation at a 40-year high, experts say consumers are getting less, but prices are staying the same. Experts say that brands can hide the technique of shrinkflation through packaging tricks to mask the changes. Using “net weight” or “net contents” can tell the buyer how much they’re getting in a product.

I accused Fage of doing this months ago and they denied it. LIES!
So what will happen when theft increases? This ain’t California. People will consider the option. Why pay more for less?
I just brought mosquito spray, which broke. So I thought of a good idea of trading the caps of an older spray bottle. Guess what happened?
Thats why I buy generic.
It’s been happening since before CoVid. 😔
even the 5 cent tootsie rolls are smaller
Just like in Desert Storm, 5 years of small loafs, and meat X amount more and milk being X amount more, probably 4 times worse and 4 times as long. Still doesnt excuse you.
You just noticed that, they have been doing this for yesrs.
Burgers at restaurants are getting smaller also
Who was not prepared for this. This started and no one noticed. Don't you understand the big picture. Wake up!!
This is not news, they have been doing this for years!
Yes because corporate America has become a greedy scam that is pricing Americans out and sending them to the poorhouse. America has become the epitome of dishonesty.
CORPORATE BIG BUSINESS— THE WORLD HATES YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO WORKING FAMILIES
BELIEVE US…. WE NOTICE!!! WE ARE NOT STUPID!!
This is hardly anything new….been happening everywhere for ages.
Mann greed is a hellava drug!!
It's called " Bidenization "
Just coined a new term……..

Wow! An "expert" noticed package sizes are shrinking. It's a shame people are too mathematically illiterate to realize this for themselves.
America; the future Africa🤔
It will continue to degrade.
You are living at the end of the age.
China and Russia and Iran ans Syria will combine economies and far far far surpass USA and its pro Homosexual government.
Biden is decieved. You are watching the destruction of USA.
Quantity and quality too
Brands are just continuing to put in less product , that scam has been running for a long time . Healthcare isn't the biggest employer of psychology graduates , marketing is , thereby bringing science to the grift.
Kinda like investigve journalism inside a pimping police state . Pay more get less
And the federal government will do absolutely nothing about this lolo I wonder why even bring it up our government refuses to regulate these companies cause shareholder profit is more important than millions of human beings I guess ….
This has been going on in Australia and England for 20 years from blocks of chocolate, biscuits in packs Arnott's etc potato chips this list goes on.
Missing detail in this report:
Not only are the weights going down but the actual portion sizes are going down. Everything is at Gerber baby food sized packages. While costing more. Much more. However, this is not new. I began warning friends and family five yeaes ago when soup cans started getting lighter and smaller. No one cared back then because it was just soup at first. Now, this fraud and corporate economic theft is everywhere. We deserve it for being their fat, happy, easily conditioned frogs in a pot…..
The elites are getting richer however
The Feds should have required a weight change notice when they change but the lobby money
Price gouging
I thought it was called build back better.
I just noticed this today. Powerade use to have 32 oz bottles now they are 28 oz for the same price of course
Yes absolutely. Jacking up prices getting way less then what we are supposed to. Especially dog food
The cereal sizes is so obvious 😄
Companies have been doing this for years. I remember like 20 years ago.. somethings cost the same but I ended up getting less.
