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 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.
