Shrinkflation has affected one-third of grocery items, analysis finds. Here are the worst offenders.
"Shrinkflation" — when companies charge the same for smaller sizes — is a sneaky way to raise prices. Read on to see what kind of products have shrunk the most.
Here are the worst offenders.
Paper towels and toilet paper, Breakfast cereals, Candy, snack foods like chips and cheetos
You know what HASN'T been affected by shrinkflation? That wall of text explaining the concept of things we already know.
I'd like to make a sarcastic joke about what the rest of that bullshit was, but I couldn't be bothered to read 8 full scrolls of nonsense before I got to "the worst offenders". Literally the whole point of the article, and I have to scroll past an essay, and a nag about my adblock. You make me click "I'll disable it next time". YOU make me lie. I would happily click a text that said "I'll never disable my ad blocker. Go choke on a buffet of dicks until you die, you absolute leech on society!"
Sadly, that wasn't an option. It's truthful though.
Thank you!
Thanks, that was absolutely unreadable on my phone. So many goddamn ads.

paper towels and toilet paper are basically ground zero for these shenanigans.
Oh man, thank you!
⅓!? My empty-wallet ass it's only ⅓.
That chart in there is not necessarily accurate, because it's "per 100 count," and doesn't consider that the individual sheets may be differently sized.
m2 or bust!
"...affected..."
Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.
adjective
1
a
**: **having or showing an attitude or mode of behavior that is not natural or genuinely felt **: **given to or marked by affectation
b
**: **assumed artificially or falsely **: **pretended
Neither definition applies. The items are not being affected. Shrinkflation is an outright deceitful practice, not an affectation.
Settle down, Francis.
