  1. The Subtraction Economy

    How they take more, give you less, and train you not to notice. Pour two fingers of the vodka you trusted ten years ago and you taste grain, cold, and a clean burn that meant something had been distilled with care. Pour the same brand today and you get water and a faint chemical ghost of that promise. The bottle looks identical and the price has climbed, while the liquid inside has been quietly reformulated down toward rotgut. A label held constant over a swapped recipe is the entire con, and the house is betting you will never run a blind taste test against a memory, because memory fades while the bottle on the shelf looks just like the one you loved.

  4. Here’s an example of #shrinkflation I bet many haven’t considered:

    I’ve used the same brand of shampoo for as long as I can remember. Opened a new bottle this week and immediately realized a lot more comes out with each single pump.

    So they’re encouraging using more product than you really need so you empty the bottle faster.

    Current status: training myself to only pump about a third of the way coz my very short hair doesn’t need much product.

  25. Se non ve ne siete ancora accorti, non avete ancora mangiato un gelato quest’anno.
    Altroconsumo rileva aumenti fino al +40% per il gelato sfuso e +70% per quello confezionato.
    Federconsumatori conferma rincari su stecchi e vaschette e shrinkflation: porzioni più piccole, prezzi più alti.
    Anche il gelato, come il caffè, stà diventando per molti un lusso.

  30. Boy, $29 dollars doesn't get you a very large pizza these days, though this Detroit-style puttanesca (minus the anchovies) from #EastGlisanPizzaLounge is exactly what I was craving last night.

  35. You think it's just a snack? Look closer. That shrinking bag of Doritos, the price inching up, the 'new, improved' recipe masking ingredient cuts. This isn't just inflation; it's a silent confession. Corporations, driven by insatiable greed, are subtly eroding value, shrinking your purchasing power while their profits swell. It's a psychological game, ...

  39. europesays.com/it/551377/ Gelati confezionati più piccoli? Meno prodotto e prezzi più alti. Cos’è l’effetto shrinkflation (e perché succede) #Affari #Business #GelatiConfezionati #IT #Italia #Italy #shrinkflation

  40. Just opened a box of chocolate fingers and having removed the cardboard, plastic film and inner tray, the edible remainder was perhaps 40% of the original volume!
