Shrinkflation

Thank you [email protected] for letting me know about this community!

I thought something was up when a package no longer covered enough for a single pizza.

I noticed this after my latest SaveOn order and was going to post pictures, but here's a whole article about it.

If anyone can explain how it can be 3.3 ounces in the new can and 3.6 in the old while grams and millilitres remain the same i would love to know.

Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain't a joke for a drink size! BTW, that's supposed to be sweet tea, but it's bitter as hell..

1 pound is ~450g

So I've been buying 220g bags of Ruffles potato chips for $4.79 at No Frills (a value-based franchise banner under Loblaws that operates in Ontario). This is one of many products that seems to be towing the line of not going over the $5 threshold.

They're careful to make sure the bottle still looks the same from the front, but from the side you can see the difference.

Little did I know I'd be surprised from how much filler they added to their product.

No before shot as it's been a while since I bought this, but the previous item was in the same can, filled almost to the top, and 500g.

I think they've been like this for a while though. Clearly a way to sneak out 2 cookies without the consumer noticing.

The packaging is also much flimsier, it's very floppy. The old packaging feels normal.
