What's the verdict on shrinkflation in food products?

[Anonymous No.18688329]

>>18688324
it sucks
btw if a product didn't shrank, or was more expensive, it means the food maker tampered with the quality of the ingredients

[Anonymous No.18688330]

It's based. Instead of having to pay more for the original size, I pay the same for a smaller size with the option of spending more for more if I want.

That pringles picture is probably from Australia, where we got swapped over from american imports to products made in malaysia, which are 1) smaller and 2) shit. Have they fucked with the American pringles as well now?
I have to wonder how much more they can possibly shrinkflate in these economic times. For example, Australia's main chocolate blocks have all dropped in size from 320g blocks way down to 180g in the space of about 10 years.
If they keep dropping the size at that rate they'll be snack bar size by 2035.
It also shits me when a company drops the size of the food, but doesn't change the box or even makes them larger.

Even toilet paper shrank, though years ago. Around the start of the 'demic, WAAAAAAAaaaaaay back in late February of 2020, I stocked up on dish soap, hand soap, clothes detergent, shampoo and other shit that doesn't generally go off, including toilet paper. I'm still well-stocked on all that stuff but I went to my brother's place recently and he buys Charmin just as I do, even the same variety, and the sheets seemed smaller than what I have at home. I took one (unused, of course) and when I got home, compared it to what we have and it is indeed smaller, by about 20%, I'd say.
It's ridiculous.
idk about food, tho. I don't generally buy much of the packaged stuff to notice, though I did notice that the bags of Halloween candy we got this year for the street beggars seemed to have less in them, especially the peanut butter Snickers.

i dont eat pringles but i have some packages of pre-pandemic paper rolls. since everyone panic bought, i stocked up too so the very bottom of my pile was never used. The prepandemic rolls were like 420 rolls per pack and the current ones are something dumb like 372 for same brand/store/ect.

whats really sad is a lot of people dont understand whats going on and are legitimately tricked by it. I refuse to eat the goyslop now, it has become low quality garbage unsuitable for people but some of my family members happily consume it and cant tell the difference. Its really frustrating because if i ever need a favor, say 'pick me up some of this since you're out', it takes a lot of effort to get them to buy the right product because

I haven't noticed an issue with the amount of product per package, but the quality has plummeted with a lot of flavors. Things like sour cream and onion and cheese, what used to be staples in the potato chip world, feel very powdery. The pizza flavor doesn't taste anywhere near as pizza-y as it used to. Now they have all these spicy flavors that are ok, but the way they flavor their crisps always makes the "scorchin" flavors feel like you're rubbing sandpaper on your tongue.

If they're a public company they release that data all the time. If you work in a grocery store, or have a friend who works in a grocery store, even at virtually an entry-level position, they'll see essentially what that data will look like, since they are the ones who will mark sales and spoilage, and will note where expired goods go to, if not the trash or bottle recycler.

Frequently opportunism and inflation coincide though. You've heard prices will go up so they put them up even more than their costs require.

>>18690917
Your view just makes it more obvious how the prices have actually skyrocketed, with this tactic trying to cover it. Like for example how packets of salami slices have gone down from 120g, 90g, 85g, to now being fucking 75g for the same price as the 100g a few years ago. Inflation or not. At some point you will have to buy two packs either way, because one packet will be 50g which is fucking nothing, but of course cut with laser beams to make 100 slices to make it seem like a whole lot.
tl;dr just look at the price per kilo and all your marketing memetics will fall apart

If you eat garbage you deserve being exploited like this.
It takes 30 seconds to peel 250 grams of potato.
It takes 30 seconds to slice them on a mandolin.
It takes 30 seconds to soak them in water, wash off excessive starch so they don't stick together and pat them dry.
It takes 30 seconds to deep fry them.
And 2 seconds to dust them with a spice mix of your choice and salt.
Plus you'll have a far cheaper, far superior end product.

Shrinkflation is the practice of reducing the size or amount of a product while keeping the price the same. This can be a frustrating experience for consumers, who may feel like they are getting less value for their money. However, there is not a definitive verdict on the practice of shrinkflation in food products, as some people may view it as a necessary cost-saving measure for companies, while others may see it as a dishonest way for businesses to increase their profits. Ultimately, the decision to engage in shrinkflation is up to individual companies and their business practices.

Our food bills haven't really gone up much at all because we don't buy much prepackaged stuff and seldom-to-never buy shit that's not on offer.
The people complaining about the price increases are the same ones who find it challenging to eat five servings of fruit and veg in a day.

Here"s a tip: porridge with dried fruit and a glass of OJ at breakfast and carrot bisque with soup crackers at lunch and you're already at four servings. Have yourself a steak with some spinach, a baked potato and sauteed mushrooms and Viola Davis: you've eaten six.
It's. Not. Hard.

Porridge and dried fruit is just so bland and takes too long to make, I'd rather have my Kellogg Fruity O's™ with a side of naturally flavoured Yoplait™ yogurt.
Carrot bisque is literally bottom tier, it's so thin and flavourless. I love the Campbell Beefy Mushroom™ soup for lunch, it carries me almost all the way through my shift before I dig into the snack bin.
Also, all the steak restaurants in my area are way too expensive. You can save a lot if you eat healthy cheaper options like the Broccoli Beef™ bowl at Panda Express.

Add banana to Fruity O's.
>yog[h]urt
Ooh. I like to make the topping the night before if I'm going to have yoghurt with granola in the morning. Cook some berries or other fruit in water with a little sugar until jammy then pour onto a bit of plain yoghurt and fridge it.
In the morning, stir it all up and top with date-or-raisin-or-whatever-dried-fruit-you-like granola. Still have that juice, either way.
With Fruity O's and banana + juice, you're still at two servings of fruit.
With yoghurt with compote and granola + juice, you're having at least two but possibly three servings, depending how much dried fruit is in your 'nola. Five dates would be a serving, for example.

>campbell
Could be a serving of veg. idk. If it's not, fry up a bit of mushroom and/or onion and add it to put a serving or two in your diet.

So, as a rule, if I make any American desert I half the sugar in the recipe at the very least.

Tried making this cookies from The New York Times and it calls for 3 3/4 cup (460g) of confectioners' sugar. I cut this one all the way down to one cup and it was still too damn sweet. The original half a kilo of sugar would be inedible and cause acute diabetes in a single bite.
