If politicians were serious in their criticism they would vote for laws forcing comparison price to be displayed next to the purchase price.
Require that $/oz is always displayed in equal size as the per package price.
That’s what I meant with “comparison price”.
Or just enforce price controls
My opinion is regulate it so any shrinking has to be marked in large bold caps lettering NOW X% SMALLER for at least 1 year. Then people might actually stop buying shrunken goods and opt for a competitor.
That won’t solve ingredient swaps.
It’d be better than nothing, though
Oh, I’m still offering the old size product. It’s just less efficient and profitable than our completely new, slightly smaller size.
Stop! Or I’ll say stop again!
Did he say anything about actually doing something about it? Some-sort of shrinkflation law or something?
I’m happy to just see him talking about anything other than green line go up.
I was talking to a friend recently and mentioned that Lil Debbie Fudge Rounds used to be the same diameter as the “Double Decker” ones.
Now they’re smaller than the diameter of an air hockey puck. And don’t even get me started on how regular Oreo Cookies used to look like the double stuff Oreos. The gall to cut the product in half, add the other half back to it, then charge more and have the balls to call it “double…”

I wouldn’t mind a reduction in plastic packaging if I could get a few more snacks.
At what point during the shrink does the packaging cost more than the single serving of potatoe chip fumes?
I basically reduced my snack intake by about 75%. It is almost to expensive to snack now.
90% of the snacks I buy are the store brand. Particularly, Walmart since it’s the cheapest place to get foodstuffs here. So far, while all the big names have visibility shrunk in size and value, the store brands have remained the same while just continuing to grow in value compared to the other brands that are giving you less for more.
I think having less potato chips in a package is probably good for the American people. However, having another year of Mahomes commercials is not.
Nothing to do with less chips, everything to do with same price. Put less chips if you need, reduce price accordingly.
Oh, did they show another Knuckles show ad during the Super Bowl? I didn’t watch it.
