why most food items in the supermarket have shrunken in size

compared to how the size of food items used to be in the 80s? back then food products used to be much bigger in size and portion, now everything has shrunk, and you pay more now as well.

Money. Everything costs more now, so instead of raising the price and pissing off the consumer, they shrink the portion sizes, I guess hoping no one will notice.

As for things being cheaper in the 80's compared to now, that's inflation.

Same reason why they are pushing advertising directly and unabashedly within talk shows.

Money!

"Oh I got this neat little devise for this from xyz"

They get paid for that mention, directly from xyz!

It use to be a faux pas just to mention a product and company even in movies.

Now it doesn't matter where. It's in everything.

Neat thing about this is you are paying for even the service providers for that mention. Not to mention the lost in show context.
