Haven't started the list yet, but the "Didn't this use to look bigger?" hook reminded me of summer vacation last week. We had a pack of peanut butter Oreos and a pack of Double Stuff Oreos, and noticed that there wasn't much "Double" to the "Stuff," so we stacked two peanut butters, compared it to one of the Double Stuffs, and came to the conclusion that there was almost no difference between a regular Oreo and a Double Stuff one. Shrinkflation is just sad.
Yeah the new double stuff is what the originals used to be while the originals have half as much as before. I remember when the double stuff actually looked like someone doubled the cream of a regular Oreo. It's that way with the Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches, too. They used to be 3/4 the length and almost double the thickness, now they're the same thickness as the regular ones while still being 3/4 the length the you're just getting less for your money.
@@SesshouFan22yup. Fat Boys arent fat no more. Bought box two weeks ago amd thought the same exact thing! They feel different in my hand too!!!! Dont get me started on Oreos! 😮
Ah, a Biden voter. Inflation is hitting all of us, including corporations. They don’t want to raise prices, but they also want to make a profit and be able to pay their bills, much like we do. It’s like you asking for a raise in order to keep up with rising prices. And then the company you work for has to find a way to pay increasing wages. It’s a nasty little cycle. It’s called inflation, a side effect of unchecked government spending and printing more money, decreasing the value of the dollar. Vote wisely this November.

One thing I noticed was hen you mentioned Kraft mac and cheese , I remember when I was younger, the cheese was darker, and tasted better, now the cheese is paler and tastes terrible.
According to recent news, shrinkflation may not be legal for much longer if lawmakers have a say. That doesn’t mean it’ll stop since most companies do so much illegal activities. But at the very least it could be a step in the right direction for us consumers.
Working in product development and branding, I have faith at least some kind of law will eventually be passed to discourage the more offensively deceptive practices shown here. As for small changes to make the products healthier and safer, I’m all for that but with transparency and openness to the public for feedback.
Guess I'm a little different than most customers, I ALWAYS look at the ounces on everything...and can catch them "red-handed" at trying to scheme us. 😮

Yea I remember looking at a package of Black Diamond cheese slices with 22 slices in there when a week prior they were 24. I was dead broke at the time, practically homeless and this change meant I went a day or 2 without cheese. Back then I could eat for a month off $20 worth of groceries. That's no longer possible.

Whiska's Perfect Portions wet cat food used to come in a 100gram package. The company split the package in half, added more packaging, but each 'half' is only 37.5 grams. Same price but you're missing 1/4 of the cat food.
Shrinkflation sucks! I'm fed up with it! Bring back normal sizes already! I mean, "large" size boxes of cereal used to be regular sized. Now, they call this a "large". Our "Family size" was our "large" back then. And the "Giant" size we have now was our "large" then
I actually found that bagged cereal gives you a lot more cereal if you’re looking for cold cereal and I also found that if you’re looking to buy bigger sizes, you should try either Costco or the one associated with Walmart even if you have to pay a membership fee it’s still less expensive in the long run and I found that out with Costco‘s water. I figured out that if Costco has a basic membership for 60 bucks a year and you buy approximately 20 cases of water with the amount of money that you save between that place and Kroger by the time you pay for 20 cases you are saving the $60 you need because at Kroger the water is approximately seven or more dollars a case and at Costco it’s around four dollars a case so in the end 20 to 22 cases of water from Costco will save you money which means that the cost is very much different and this is just water we’re talking about it might be surprising to figure out what else they give a better deal on
@jeremytoney9367 Bagged cereal may be more cost effective, but most of the cereals are full of sugar and not much fiber or essential nutrients. Shredded wheat is the exception, but it also dissappears quickly. Boxes have a lot more variety, and a lot more fiber- rich brands
McD's changing their fried pies to their baked garbage is the worst change ever. Thank goodness there is a local burger joint near me that still fries their apple pies. It's heaven.
I’m thankful our family stopped eating food like products about 8 years ago. We don’t eat anything that has artificial ingredients or flavors. Only sprouted breads, no seed oils in any form, and no refined sugars aside from coconut and maple sugar in our coffee.
Subway in the UK isn't legally allowed to say "eat fresh", because their vegetables are flash frozen (as is their meat, which is made of a paste + meat glue and isn't actually pieces of steak etc). Their "bread" is classified as cake due to the massive volumes of sugar in it and their sauces might as well be frosting.
@@leydeebug202 Yep its essentially a sugarloaf cake with sugared garlic mayo/sugared chili sauce, and defrosted vegetables and glued-together meat cubes.
Actually I believe stuff like this is what makes a time machine somewhat practical. If I had a time machine, I myself would be a little bit nostalgic.

They may have removed artificial yellow 5 & 6 but it was replaced with "sunset yellow" which is still an artificial colour and dangerous to those who can't consume artificial colours and flavors. (M.C.A.S. OR Histamine Intolerance) and it's in everything and I mean EVERYTHING. My latest shock this week?... Hickory Sticks have artificial red, yellow AND blue in them yet they aren't even colourful! Check ALL LABELS folks!!

Shrinkflation. That actually started during the 2008 crash. I remember ice cream companies jumping on that first. 1 pint 160z went to 14 oz think it dropped to 12oz now.
Usually a certain global affliction gets blamed for that. Most TP manufacturers took about 3cm off the side of the roll while keeping the length intact. This kept it the proper "puffiness" while still skimping the product.
McDonald's fries used be fried in a beef tallow and were, for a few decades, considered the best tasting fast food fries worldwide. Then they changed to vegetable oil for health reasons, I think, and all of that flavor was lost.

I can tell the difference between old and new kraft Mac and cheese. I miss the old stuff, I don't care about color but it changed the taste too. It's not in my head either because I noticed it before I realized it had changed.
Nescafe in the UK have adulterated their powder with "filler" materials. it's now only around 60% coffee. The rest is a stabilizer and synthetic cofee flavouring.
Remember: Corporations *ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.* All they care about is Your Money in Your Pockets, and nothing else, so whenever a company does the Shrinkflation, they are not thinking about the people buying the product, they only care about the Profits they make and the money they cash up on. Also, on this list, I do believe the Domino's Pizza section showcases when corporation owners put aside their greed and actually do the right thing. They shouldn't be just an example for all the other companies listed in the video, but also every other company in the world.
That’s true! All these corporations really care about money. And that’s fucked up 😂 and at the expense of fucking up people’s expectations and health☠️😂
2:39 Gatorade actually introduced the hourglass bottle over 4 years ago - it was just available in different stores. Gas stations and vending machines and it, but grocery stores had the original. It’s only recently that it’s become the only bottle available
back in my days...I mean like early 2000s. I always had trouble to open them because they were always filled from top to bottom, leaving no space to open it without ripping the candy itself.
In my country since this year it is illegal to make changes to product sizes without warning the customer about the change! Basically the retailers have to put out big warning signs for a few months if there's a change in any products' usual packaging size. Like : WARNING U GET LESS FOR THE SAME PRICE! Not sure about the recipe changes.
2016 is mentioned a few times here. Shrinkflation wasn't preparation for things to come, it was a response from businesses to things that had happened the years prior. But, yes, they did keep the same prices and size/quantity in most all cases.
Most of the foods that took out the food coloring, replaced in with a plant that's was in the nut category. Every day we go to the store and find annatto added for color. This sucks with a family member allergic to nuts. So if anyone has ever felt sick after having something that has it in it and a nut allergy, now you know.
12:45 I know. Products advertise “no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors” or “whole grain”, but it doesn’t make it any more nutritional. Some of the removals may be better for health; but it doesn’t really make that big of a difference. And unless you’re going to go all organic, you’re going to get all of those things from other sources
Canned tuna salad was hands down my favourite sandwich as a kid, but in recent years it's been more difficult to make more than one sandwich per can. Realized why when I looked at the weight. It was 8oz per can way back when, then shrank to 7oz, now it's only 5. Curiously this does not afflict certain retailers as the last 12pk of canned tuna I purchased (sometime last month) was 12 cans, 7oz each, for roughly the same price as 12 individual 5oz cans.
I love the Coca-cola story because most people who didn't know which was which preferred New Coke, but people hate change and so rallied against something that most would've liked better. Imagine a car company making their cars quieter and more energy efficient and then having people whine about it "not sounding the same"
I just checked the bag of Cinnamon toast crunch and sure enough trisodium phosphate is an ingredient. Trisodium phosphate is also a powdered cleaner. I used to use that to clean floors!
My mom was happy when companies removed artificial dyes from products. She has an allergy to them. I have always noticed when something shrinks, changes flavors, etc. And Domino's has always sucked and still does.
Oreos, I have a lot to say about this tiny biscuit. Why on earth they were allowed to be sold inn Australia I have no idea. The thing is we have better tasting biscuits and cookies than those tasteless things. The only 1 good thing I will say is they are so small that the kids don't get a massive sugar hit.Honestly we have a better chocolate biscuit called delta creams.
I'm here in the U.S. but agree with you about Oreos! Most cookies/biscuits and what is being sold as bread here are not that great & yet they continue to add more unhealthy ingredients, fillers & preservatives while reducing size & raising prices. Enjoy your Delta Creams!
One thing I noticed from McDonald's, and probably other fast food, is that when you add a ingredient like Mac sauce they charge you $0.25. but if you minus the ingredient like Mac sauce, they don't lower the price.
Uhh, if the new Twinkies had "left the recipe alone", they would've gone bankrupt again within a year or two because the high cost/waste of the old kind was losing them money. Is that somehow a better option?
Toilet paper rolls are much narrower. Now only 4 inches wide from 4.25 which shrank from 4.5.. some are now even narrower still. I wouldn't notice except for the huge gap in my toilet paper holder. There used to be no gap.

*The financial market is pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine.

I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Interesting, This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro Investor?
Mrs Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
the first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.
Ya I think that particular product is trying to teach you how to say the name correctly, since technically they should sound the same. If you use the other pronunciation that is fine though. :)
19:53 Am a Brit (South Wales, UK) and I gotta say that the change was actually better, as it wasn't overly sweet like having a mouthful of sugar, it became more fruity and can taste more citrus in it now 🍊 It felt weird tasting the US & EU version as it was more sugary sweet than citrus, that I actually asked for my drink to be switched with Coke Zero or a lemonade. (For context I was in a restaurant outside of the UK, and asked the server if I could change my drink as I couldn't drink it after a sip. The nice server switched it and took off the Fanta)
I totally understand what you mean, I never drank Fanta before but tried it in 2019 and liked it. I didn't realise that it was less sugar only in the UK (where I live in West England), so when I visited Florida and bought a bottle thinking it was the same, I literally choked at how sugary it was, I made my sister try it (she likes sugary drinks) but even she didn't like it, saying "it tastes like a just had a tablespoon full of sugar" 🤢 we checked each drinks sugar context percentage after that, so we didn't get a repeat of the sugar Fanta.
Not just shrinkflation, various flavors have disappeared as well with Fanta being the worst offender of all. About half of the flavors that Fanta had prior to 2022 are straight up gone.
In the 80's to the early 90's. The Fanta came I. Juice boxes and the taste were really good. It was my favorite juice back then. But suddenly, it went from juice to soda, and the taste wasn't the same. I still miss those juice boxes 😥
My daily affirmation is this: God I receive your written and spoken promises for my household. with an influx of $112,000 every month God has kept to his word for me hallelujah!
I saw a new video the other day from a McDonalds patron. In it, she showed that inside the bun was a 'meat' patty that was noticeably thinner than the single, measly, pickle chip. My very first job was McD's and they were busted for using kangaroo meat and still claiming their product to be "all beef burger'. Minimum wage was 79 cents per hour, so you can see that this is nothing new. I haven't eaten there for over 50 years.
Earlier this year I niticed how skinny the Oreo creme was as thin as the "thin" I'm afraid to buy the thins in case they just wave the creme over it and not add any.
You should move to the Nordic countries then. Boy oh boy do nost of what we eat still look like most remember them, but then, the Nordic countries have always said eff it and do the literal opposite of everyone else. I know this, because i'm a Swede, and the food here haven't changed much at all, if at all. We do have this weird habit of having a bit extra salted food, or mix foods with different tastes, like Marabou chocolate with popcorn. Marabou is a Swedish brand, which actually tastes a hundred times better than Swiss and Belgian chocolate. I've tasted American, Swiss and Belgian chocolate, and they just don't taste as good
I went to subway recently and I noticed the bread was much slimmer than before. They kept the 12-inch length to avoid a repeat of the barrage of complaints that happened last time, but it was much slimmer and couldn't hold the extra meatballs I ordered
When we buy Pringles we check the area it was made. If the factory is not in USA we don't buy it. The reason is the taste is different if from the original taste if it was made in other countries.
This was a good one! So many things going on in life these days, I have to say, I may have only noticed the Breyers and I don't really eat some of the others. For example, I could never get on the Nutella train, just something about hazelnuts that I don't care for and I could never understand why it's called chocolate, it definitely doesn't taste like any chocolate I've experienced. Loved your comments in this one as well! 👍🥰
Tim Tam an Australia favourite has gotten less. They redesigned the packaging so the pack remained the same size on the outside but inside they rechanged the inner tray so that the chocolate biscuits are now spaced further apart and you get less in the pack. Also remember when Peters Light & Creamy ice cream also shrunk from 2 litres to 1.8 litres while still charging the same price.
2:14 Switzerland:"Dang it. I can't made chocolate anymore....... Because my Cacau for the chocolate have run out!!!" Slovakia:"Want Cacau??" Switzerland:"Yes!!!"

Serious question, if you breed a tomato and a potato together, is it called a “pomato” or a “topato”??
I like Pomato, but why base it on a union 2 words, why not a new better name? :3

Remember: Corporations *ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.* All they care about is Your Money in Your Pockets, and nothing else, so whenever a company does the Shrinkflation, they are not thinking about the people buying the product, they only care about the Profits they make and the money they cash up on.
Also, on this list, I do believe the Domino's Pizza section showcases when corporation owners put aside their greed and actually do the right thing. They shouldn't be just an example for all the other companies listed in the video, but also every other company in the world.
Yeah
That’s true! All these corporations really care about money. And that’s fucked up 😂 and at the expense of fucking up people’s expectations and health☠️😂
This is also why I hate ads so much, they're all lying to you.
Dominoes left the chat
So what, whatever you may say, you really could care less about anyone but yourself.

My brother bought a case of airheads and I swear to God there's like an inch of dead space inside each of the wrappers.
back in my days...I mean like early 2000s.
I always had trouble to open them because they were always filled from top to bottom, leaving no space to open it without ripping the candy itself.
I work at a grocery store, I see these changes firsthand, because I see a LOT of it.
In my country since this year it is illegal to make changes to product sizes without warning the customer about the change! Basically the retailers have to put out big warning signs for a few months if there's a change in any products' usual packaging size. Like : WARNING U GET LESS FOR THE SAME PRICE!
Not sure about the recipe changes.
Well, that seems like a great idea! Hope it happens here

2016 is mentioned a few times here. Shrinkflation wasn't preparation for things to come, it was a response from businesses to things that had happened the years prior.
But, yes, they did keep the same prices and size/quantity in most all cases.
Most of the foods that took out the food coloring, replaced in with a plant that's was in the nut category. Every day we go to the store and find annatto added for color. This sucks with a family member allergic to nuts. So if anyone has ever felt sick after having something that has it in it and a nut allergy, now you know.
Honestly, I think that people should decrease the size of their stores at this rate of decreasing items.

12:45 I know. Products advertise “no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors” or “whole grain”, but it doesn’t make it any more nutritional. Some of the removals may be better for health; but it doesn’t really make that big of a difference. And unless you’re going to go all organic, you’re going to get all of those things from other sources
Canned tuna salad was hands down my favourite sandwich as a kid, but in recent years it's been more difficult to make more than one sandwich per can.
Realized why when I looked at the weight. It was 8oz per can way back when, then shrank to 7oz, now it's only 5.
Curiously this does not afflict certain retailers as the last 12pk of canned tuna I purchased (sometime last month) was 12 cans, 7oz each, for roughly the same price as 12 individual 5oz cans.
What they should do is completely remove dyes and get rid of at least 50% of the sweeteners

Magnum ice creams! Thank you again for exposing the greedy shrinkflation techniques so many companies have employed
I love the Coca-cola story because most people who didn't know which was which preferred New Coke, but people hate change and so rallied against something that most would've liked better. Imagine a car company making their cars quieter and more energy efficient and then having people whine about it "not sounding the same"
Did you know th at general Mills put Tri sodium phosphate in cinnamon toast crunch, lucky charms ect.
I just checked the bag of Cinnamon toast crunch and sure enough trisodium phosphate is an ingredient. Trisodium phosphate is also a powdered cleaner. I used to use that to clean floors!
My mom was happy when companies removed artificial dyes from products. She has an allergy to them. I have always noticed when something shrinks, changes flavors, etc. And Domino's has always sucked and still does.
Maybe I'm an anomaly, but I've always hated Twinkies.
Same. I have never been a fan.

Oreos, I have a lot to say about this tiny biscuit. Why on earth they were allowed to be sold inn Australia I have no idea. The thing is we have better tasting biscuits and cookies than those tasteless things. The only 1 good thing I will say is they are so small that the kids don't get a massive sugar hit.Honestly we have a better chocolate biscuit called delta creams.
I'm here in the U.S. but agree with you about Oreos! Most cookies/biscuits and what is being sold as bread here are not that great & yet they continue to add more unhealthy ingredients, fillers & preservatives while reducing size & raising prices. Enjoy your Delta Creams!
I remember having a giant Toblerone 😂
One thing I noticed from McDonald's, and probably other fast food, is that when you add a ingredient like Mac sauce they charge you $0.25. but if you minus the ingredient like Mac sauce, they don't lower the price.
Things will continue to have Lesser and Lesser Quality and Quantity until, the End.
These are the End Times after All. Didn't You Know?
Uhh, if the new Twinkies had "left the recipe alone", they would've gone bankrupt again within a year or two because the high cost/waste of the old kind was losing them money. Is that somehow a better option?
This is a perfect example of how infinite growth isn't possible. I wonder if companies will ever realize this before society collapses.
Toilet paper rolls are much narrower. Now only 4 inches wide from 4.25 which shrank from 4.5.. some are now even narrower still. I wouldn't notice except for the huge gap in my toilet paper holder. There used to be no gap.

*The financial market is pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.*
I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Interesting, This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro Investor?
Mrs Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
the first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.

It's funny how everyone (including me) says "Reese's Pee-sees" instead of "Reese's Pieces." 🤣
Ya I think that particular product is trying to teach you how to say the name correctly, since technically they should sound the same. If you use the other pronunciation that is fine though. :)
🤤... I don't get what you're trying to say..
That is the pronunciation, phonetically. Why is it supposed to be funny?
19:53 Am a Brit (South Wales, UK) and I gotta say that the change was actually better, as it wasn't overly sweet like having a mouthful of sugar, it became more fruity and can taste more citrus in it now 🍊
It felt weird tasting the US & EU version as it was more sugary sweet than citrus, that I actually asked for my drink to be switched with Coke Zero or a lemonade. (For context I was in a restaurant outside of the UK, and asked the server if I could change my drink as I couldn't drink it after a sip. The nice server switched it and took off the Fanta)
I totally understand what you mean, I never drank Fanta before but tried it in 2019 and liked it. I didn't realise that it was less sugar only in the UK (where I live in West England), so when I visited Florida and bought a bottle thinking it was the same, I literally choked at how sugary it was, I made my sister try it (she likes sugary drinks) but even she didn't like it, saying "it tastes like a just had a tablespoon full of sugar" 🤢 we checked each drinks sugar context percentage after that, so we didn't get a repeat of the sugar Fanta.
I don't like Oreos, i can't understand whats the appeal
Do you like anything else that is similar?
Same
omg same the only one I like is the cakesters
Not just shrinkflation, various flavors have disappeared as well with Fanta being the worst offender of all.
About half of the flavors that Fanta had prior to 2022 are straight up gone.

The Little Debbie Star Crunch used to cost .25 cents when I was a kid in the 90s. Now it's like 2.50 at 7/11.

They were like this for about a year back in 2016. They were forced to backtrack this decision after public outcry.

In the 80's to the early 90's. The Fanta came I. Juice boxes and the taste were really good. It was my favorite juice back then.
But suddenly, it went from juice to soda, and the taste wasn't the same. I still miss those juice boxes 😥

I saw a new video the other day from a McDonalds patron. In it, she showed that inside the bun was a 'meat' patty that was noticeably thinner than the single, measly, pickle chip. My very first job was McD's and they were busted for using kangaroo meat and still claiming their product to be "all beef burger'. Minimum wage was 79 cents per hour, so you can see that this is nothing new. I haven't eaten there for over 50 years.
stop saying first and stop posting about baller
This is cursed
Is that a baller in the sky?
Calm down and go away
If u want to stop people saying first say anything but first
I haven't seen the "baller" comments, but I'm pretty tired of seeing "first" all the time.
Earlier this year I niticed how skinny the Oreo creme was as thin as the "thin" I'm afraid to buy the thins in case they just wave the creme over it and not add any.
You should move to the Nordic countries then. Boy oh boy do nost of what we eat still look like most remember them, but then, the Nordic countries have always said eff it and do the literal opposite of everyone else. I know this, because i'm a Swede, and the food here haven't changed much at all, if at all. We do have this weird habit of having a bit extra salted food, or mix foods with different tastes, like Marabou chocolate with popcorn. Marabou is a Swedish brand, which actually tastes a hundred times better than Swiss and Belgian chocolate. I've tasted American, Swiss and Belgian chocolate, and they just don't taste as good
My mom said Kraft Mac & Cheese tasted noticeably shittier after the change, & now I make it from scratch.
I went to subway recently and I noticed the bread was much slimmer than before. They kept the 12-inch length to avoid a repeat of the barrage of complaints that happened last time, but it was much slimmer and couldn't hold the extra meatballs I ordered
15:04 and the sound effect of the Oreo cookie tower falling while listening with headphones was quite terrifying and caught me off-guard.
When we buy Pringles we check the area it was made. If the factory is not in USA we don't buy it. The reason is the taste is different if from the original taste if it was made in other countries.
This was a good one! So many things going on in life these days, I have to say, I may have only noticed the Breyers and I don't really eat some of the others. For example, I could never get on the Nutella train, just something about hazelnuts that I don't care for and I could never understand why it's called chocolate, it definitely doesn't taste like any chocolate I've experienced. Loved your comments in this one as well! 👍🥰
I use top a ramen Or Cup of noodles when I'm sick It still counts as a soup and the broth does help And it tastes good
Jimmy Dean breakfast croissants, significantly smaller than they used to be, while as far as I can remember, have not gone down in price.
I'm glad to see you mentioned the grip in the gum packages. I'm pretty sure I made a comment about that in your last shrinkflation video 😊❤
29:20 I've never had peanut butter and chocolate together. Come to think about it, have I ever had peanut butter?
I have not bought or eating any Toblerone since they did that stunt.
Sugar tax in the uk was passed on to consumers anyway not paid by the producing company
If all the big companies just listened to feedback about their product, I think the world might be a better place.
Here in Europe, Toblerone raised the price and let the bar as it was.
Tim Tam an Australia favourite has gotten less. They redesigned the packaging so the pack remained the same size on the outside but inside they rechanged the inner tray so that the chocolate biscuits are now spaced further apart and you get less in the pack.
Also remember when Peters Light & Creamy ice cream also shrunk from 2 litres to 1.8 litres while still charging the same price.
I also noticed that Kelloggs made their boxes of Corn Pops cereal super thin.
2:14 Switzerland:"Dang it. I can't made chocolate anymore....... Because my Cacau for the chocolate have run out!!!" Slovakia:"Want Cacau??" Switzerland:"Yes!!!"
