      Hi. I worked for Burger King late 1980s to early 1990s when it had great Canadian ham and fresh croissants for breakfast. We made our own fresh scrambled eggs. Then, Burger King switched to a pre-made egg mix that got shipped in cartons.

      Years ago I used to buy Breyer's half-gallons and one summer I noticed that I was finishing the container somewhat faster than in previous times (sure, it's all me, so I can't blame anyone else). But, it took me 3 separate purchases to discover that they had zapped the stuff with the Grocery Shrink Ray causing it to go from 64 ounces down to, iirc, 48 ounces. I stopped buying it at that point, since, as we all know, the price didn't go down. And then there's an orange juice brand that went from 64 ounces down to fifty-something ounces. Again, I stopped buying their fresh-squeezed stuff. And then at some point afterwards, they became what I call corporate naming rights johns when they paid to be the name of a field for a sports team. I go out of my way to NOT buy products and services from those companies (I'll eat their stuff, I just wont give them my money). Yes, it's cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I do what I can.

      Yeah ice cream shrunk from half gallon to 1.41 quarts and bs like that. Worst of all, a lot of ice cream companies changed from simple ingredients like milk, cream, sugar, to substituting with hydrogenated oils, seed oils, plant gums, and changed to "frozen dairy desert." Make sure you read the ingredients, if it's a huge paragraph containing oils, don't buy that trash, it's toxic for you.

    When I saw the new double Big Mac I said to the person standing next to me, "I wonder if that means it has as much meat as the regular Big Mac used to?"
    Not that I can eat there anymore. My body decided to suddenly recognize wheat as a migraine trigger over a decade ago and McD's even puts wheat on it's fries. I'm just a DoorDash driver puzzled over how many people are willing to pay through the nose for delivery of food items that are only good hot and fresh at the restaurant.

      Down with tipping. Your employer should pay you a fair wage.
      I shouldn’t have to pay the cost of your food (which is already too high) AND pay you an additional amount for service which may or may not suck. (A lot of delivery men/women have a terrible attitude and are late, or have mashed the tops of the containers into food before it arrives so it’s smeared.)

      Types exist with both a “cigarette lighter” plug and a regular plug. 🔌
      It takes some time (approx 1 hr) but it can heat your food up without much power draw on your battery, and keep it hot and ready for you to eat.
      They are extremely cheap and I highly recommend getting one. It’s gotten me out of a pinch several times, especially back when I was living out of my car because of catastrophic rent/mortgage prices.

      Most snack size, packs of candy bars did that in the 2000s and again in 2010; and *again* after 2020.
      In 2003, you used to get 10 fun size in a sleeve… then it was 8, then 6, and now it’s currently 5.
      The price didn’t change during the 2000s, but it started creeping up in the 2010s… a little. Just a few cents here and there. (You could still get the cheap ones at Dollar tree, but CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, ALDIs, and DG started creeping the price up a few cents at a time.
      In 2020, they didn’t even try to hide it; they f///ing _DOUBLED_ the price… and you’re still only getting 5 fun size candy bars.
      King size and regular size candy bars in the 2000s were a lot thicker than they were in the 2010s. The size (and ounces) got reduced while the prices did not, in the hopes that the consumer wouldn’t really notice or care.

  • @mpageflint
    @mpageflint 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As the topic of shrinkflation, with its diminishing product sizes but stable prices, garners attention, there's a darker trend worth spotlighting: scanflation. This issue extends beyond the realms of inflation or smaller packaging-it's a greed-fueled mechanism quietly lining the pockets of retailers through frequent, unnoticed overcharges. The occasional discovery of such pricing "errors" typically ends in an apology, yet the cycle of invisible overcharges rolls on, leveraging ephemeral deals that soon vanish. It’s a covert theft affecting those with the least leeway. To peel back the layers on this form of corporate malfeasance, searching scanflation videos could highlight the major players exploiting this strategy.

    It’s not just fast food that’s shrinking its sizes and changing more. Many items in the grocery stores have done the same. For example many sausage, hot links and hotdog manufacturers have shrunken what was once typical 16oz packaging down to 14oz and in some instances 12oz. Ice cream which was typically sold by the 1/2 gallon is now packaged in 1.5 to 1.25 quarts etc…
