I’m trying to figure out if candy bars are getting smaller

Or if I’m getting bigger 🤔

Honestly everything is getting smaller and the price is going up. I bought a bunch of Whoppers and I swear they're half the diameter they used to be.
@Gibbon drink plenty of fluids, stay hydrated!

@Ghostinthemachine Isn’t that called “Weetabix”?
@Markmywurdz those are very close to being sawdust!
I look at it as micro-gas lighting. Let’s say there have always been six donuts or bagels or whatever in a package. Then, rather than changing the price, they change the quantity. So there are only five in the package, same price.
@Ghostinthemachine Oh, lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.
@Mamapolo2016 My step dads go-to Karaoke song 🤣
@Ghostinthemachine I don’t have a stepdad. My dad never went to karaoke, though.

Same here. They make everything smaller and increase the prices.
Makes me feel like a giant.
@Rickichickie It’s reinforcing negative vibes towards treating yourself to a guilty pleasure!

Half the size they were in the 1960s, '70s and '80s and they sold for 10 to 15 cents back then.

I don't even buy candy anymore.

Foods are getting smaller a bar of soap, canned goods, chips, cookies, no wait a half a gallon is still a half a gallon.
@Charity Even ice cream containers keep getting smaller while the price keeps going up. They can’t fool me!

When I was about six a Hershey's bar was 3 times the width of my hand Now it's not even twice as wide.

Possibly both?
@MellyMel22 I’m gonna take that as a compliment 😌
Panamared · 70-79, M
They are shrinking
@Panamared It wasn’t even cold out 🥶

Fun size is not fun
@Likestoenjoylife Exactly this 👆

They put the “nor mo” in “Ginormous”
Jexie · 26-30, F
You're getting bigger
@Jexie Height wise?
Width wise?
Do tell
Jexie · 26-30, F
@Ghostinthemachine All measurements
@Jexie *gets out the measuring tape*

Not quite all unfortunately 😔

It's called shrinkflation
@campfire that’s a good term. I’m going to try to work into every day conversation

@Ghostinthemachine ice cream cartons used to be 1/2 gallon now there 1.5 quart yet with the same price
@campfire I’ve noticed that, because I love me some ice cream 🍦
