Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for December 13, 2024

Exactly. I usually just say 30% more air.

Shrinkflation, like insurance coverage.

They’ve even made the boxes narrower so it looks like your getting more for $4+ dollars. I don’t buy cereal anymore.

I haven’t bought cereal in years.

The best ones also serve as a laxative !

30% will turn into crumbs.

But 30% also will turn into higher profit for the mfgs. Recently noted that a certain condensed soup that used to contain at least 2 good helpings have reduced that to about 1.5 servings and the price has risen. They never get tired of plowing the buyer field for greater growth on the black ink side of the ledger.

I like the “Family Size” written on the box. The box is family size, but the product size is still the same. Truth in advertising? Not a chance.

It costs 30% more than it did four years ago.

Bread has gotten skinnier.

Ugh, who would eat cornflakes when their mother isn’t making them?

The problem I have with some packaging is getting into it. There ought be be a law that states that manufacturers give instructions on how to open the package including what tools or weapons or explosives are needed.

Look… they can either raise the price or decrease the amount. More people would complain about the price increase, so what do you suppose profit-driven business is going to do?

It’s GMO corn. I can’t eat it. It just upsets my stomach.

So there will never be a shortage of air.

Now with 40% more “misleading labels”. My Internet bill went up $20 a month when my “introductory offer” ended. Yet my bill has a large print notice telling me how I am “saving” $20 a month.
