Title: Shrinking packaging of food products...
Post by: IroNat on December 16, 2025, 05:11:19 AM
Ice cream used to be sold in half-gallons (64oz)
Then it went to 48oz.
Now 42oz.

This has happened to just about all packaged food products.
A silly game to "fool" consumers and where does it end?

Maybe it's coming back to the sizes we used to have in the 70's and before. We'll all be looking like TV stars from 70's before you know it. And remember how people who were considered fat looked like compared to now? The mama from Good Times "Florida" is thin compared to any of the kardashians of today.  ::)

In the 70s this kind of nonsense did not exist.

They are shrinking the packages because there are so many fat fucks today.

Some time ago my favorite popsicles went from 12 to 10 per pack while the price went up slightly. Pissed me off, others too :D Nothing to do with making people eat less of them for health reasons, just about money.
