This is seriously messed up.

What do they call it.. "shrinkflation" where the food amounts get smaller, the packaging gets bigger, and the price stays the same or goes up. It's a hidden form of inflation

I thought they increased fluffiness of it when I saw the word "shrinkflation" from you...

I didn't see the price is changed or not... so I can't say this is a shrinkflation for sure. If the price drop to a half of the original...I won't say it's a shrinkflation.

I would bet you all my money that the price did not go down.

... I am quite sure that's more common in restaurant... They even don't need to mark the weight of the meal.

There's more than one cereal brand, these types of things should be shared with everyone so that the company is boycotted.

Agree, maybe we should build a "shrinkflation" sub for boycotting.

You wouldn't believe how pissy people get over their fucking cereal brands. Oh they'll bitch and moan but keep buying.

"People"

We could probably narrow this down some. http://www.genderleadershipgroup.com/the-inclusionary-leadership-blog/210

The balance of the cereal weight was made up for; by the increased cardboard weight.

5 grams is probably about right.

The illusion of abundance of illusory nutrition - feeding the ghost of capitalism on the trust and dreams of the innocent.

They don't want to cook for themselves.

We grew from something like 3 billion to 8 billion in a century so yea food prices will rise. We will all prolly starve to death bc everybody is so stupid these days. Gee how could overpopulation happen? Thousands of documents about it and we are on the same course. No idea why banks would do it again, they already have control.
