Often consumers don’t notice when their everyday products get smaller. Shrinking product sizes to pad profits is not a new tactic but it grows in popularity during periods of shortages and inflation.

Downsizing a product while keeping its price the same is sometimes called “shrinkflation”—a combination of the words shrink and inflation.

Unfortunately, it is happening right now around the country to keep up with the record inflation created by the Biden’s regime. 

In recent months, Charmin, Bounty, and Gatorade are some of the recognizable brands shrinking their products. Wherein these products have been downsized but have retained their previous prices.

And it will not shock us if other brands will follow suit. In fact, a plethora of toiletries, food items, and even the leading brand of coffee are some of the latest products to reflect the inflation-driven change.

We give you the lists of products reduced in size but not in price via The Gateway Pundit:

• Haribo Goldbears candy dropped from 5 ounces to 4 ounces
• Arm & Hammer laundry detergent fell from 75 ounces to 67.5 ounces
• Folgers Classic ground coffee dropped from 51 ounces to 43.7 ounces
• Kleenex reduced the count of tissues from 65 to 60
• Angel Soft toilet tissue drop from 425 sheets to 320 sheets per roll
• Honey Bunches of Oats dropped from 14.5 ounces to 12 ounces per box
• Charmin Mega Roll toilet tissue dropped from 264 to 244 sheets
• Crest toothpaste dropped from 4.1 ounces to 3.8 ounces per tube
• Bounty paper towels dropped from 165 sheets to 147 sheets per roll
• Gatorade Zero dropped from 32 ounces to 28 ounces per bottle
• Quaker Oats instant oatmeal dropped from 10 to 8 pouches per box
• Ziploc bags dropped from 54 bags to 50 bags per box
• Dial body wash dropped from 21 ounces to 16 ounces per bottle
• Wheat Thins crackers dropped from 16 ounces to 14 ounces per box

Just as companies can shrink sizes and advertise them as new and improved, they can also make sizes bigger and sell them as bonus or value sizes, which may just be the size they were previously.

Quietly downsizing products is legal in the US until the empty space in a company’s packaging no longer serves a purpose.
