We’ve all experienced that moment of - I’m sure this was bigger when I was a kid when it comes to chocolate bars and the like.

But now it seems to be some sort of pandemic where everything is being affected.

Dove shower gel is now so watery it surely can’t identify as a gel and our normal toothpaste has become so thin that it can’t be stored with the cap down because it’s making hell of a mess when the cap is unscrewed.

Anyone found any other items that are just not the same?

Strawberry boxes you get at the supermarket at roughly the same price, but with half the volume.

Bagels that look 30% smaller than they used to be for the same price.

Tins of tuna that have less dry weight than previously for the same price.

I could go on and on.

A slight over exaggeration, but definitely more air / less product in the packaging 😂

I think my cock is experiencing Shrinkflation, much in tune with the national mood of late.

I bought some toilet rolls which looked normal sized but when I unwrapped them I saw the cardboard tubes were massive so much less paper per roll.

No exaggeration, I double down

Couple more years and it will just be a balloon.

Bought some Magnum ice creams recently and the chocolate seems a hell of a lot thinner than it used to be.

It's nothing new.

I worked for years in a warehouse containing up to 10,000 different product lines and there was never a day that went by where we didn't have to amend barcodes as a result of a new pack size or price.

Many times we could have 3 different pack sizes of the same product due to how often the manufacturers changed them.

It could have been as little as a 1g difference but they still had to be kept separate.

Though I don't eat McDonald's now, the Big Mac might as well be called the Micro Mac. It was easily 2-3x larger 20 years ago and considerably cheaper 😂

Air is healthier than crisps, so be grateful

Not trying to defend the crisp corporations

But there's more air in the bags now because it protects the Crisps during transit

On the subject of crisps I had a bag of Walkers Squares the other day and I swear they were about half the thickness they used to be

Very disappointed

Twix!! It was 60g, now it's 50g.

They brought out the Xtra, so you got more but that's only 75g. Better off keeping the 60g.
