Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted February 21, 2017 So my kid gives me a reese cup the other day and im like wtf happened they are so small now. Like half the size they used to be. Same with bacon...all of a sudden its 12oz instead of a full pound. What else can you think of that has experienced shrinkage to increase profits? Even the cable companies changed megabytes to megabits when they advertise speed to make you think its faster. 3MB vs 25 mb Im tired of being scammed!!!

wiffleball 4,639 Posted February 21, 2017 Coffee and Ice Cream containers are definite victims. There's one brand that actually advertises "Still a FULL half gallon!" - sad. Twinkies took a hit - but that's preferable to the dark days without them at all. What personally grinds my gears is when they give you a bottle that could hold 100-200 pills - and there's 30 of them. I mean, the pill count is right on the box. You're not fooking anyone. On the flip side, I actually like those 8 oz soda cans. Perfect size - especially if you have kids who are always leaving half-drank sodas around, but insist on having THEIR OWN coke. But even for adults, I like being able to slam one of them and go. Candy bars in general have definitely gotten smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted February 21, 2017 I think inflation has been higher than reported and companies were shrinking the size rather than raise the price too quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted February 21, 2017 I can tell you what's not shrinking. Women's gunts and as ses. I was at a basketball tourney on Sat and and half the women in the stands were over 2 bills. To make matters worse, they were all wearing tight pants and tops that separated when they moved, needlessly exposing us to thousands of pounds of dimpled, gooey flesh.

fandandy 3,311 Posted February 21, 2017 I think there's a toilet paper conspiracy. It seems the rolls are narrower. Like we're not gonna notice when we put it on our toilet paper roll holder and there's 2 inches of empty space on either side. Also, a double roll is the same size as the roll used to be before they started scamming us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
