r/shrinkflation

Just experienced this for the first time today, but I'm sure others have ran into this before.

My wife and I have been using this same dietary supplement (in powder form) for years, and have been really happy with the product. When I went to get a new jug of the stuff today, I found it's been "new and improved!", so I turned the container around to have a look at the nutrition label, and everything looked exactly the same. I also confirmed that the container was still 25 oz. I was confused for a second, until I noticed the serving size...

What used to be two tablespoons per serving, it's now THREE. Seriously? So, for the exact same price, the exact same amount of material, and the exact same nutritional load, I now need an extra tablespoon, meaning we're going to burn through this stuff 50% faster?

I put it down and walked out. Guess I have to find a new product now. Assholes. 😠

EDIT: TIL this is skimpflation. Thank you!

It feels like a lot of products and services cost more than ever, yet the quality somehow keeps dropping.

What's the biggest example you've personally noticed? Could be food, apps, subscriptions, electronics, clothing-anything.

Has anyone else noticed how h tbh e large pods no longer fill a cup? By a lot. We are getting ripped off.

I like cranberry juice so much, im literally known for it now. If you know me at all, you know it's my favourite drink of all time. I usually buy the original ocean spray bottles from the dollar store.

The past month or so, however, whenever I buy it, it's just not refreshing. Its very tart, has a slightly sour aftertaste, and leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

Has anyone else noticed this?? Im not sure if they've watered it down or lowered the sugar or what, but it tastes nasty now.
