Grocery Shrink Ray

[Patience]

almost all candy bars started shrinking years ago

a pound of coffee is down to 11.5-12 oz

There was a cake called a Ringding, 3" diameter, then there was the Ringding Jr. maybe 2" diameter, however shortly thereafter the Ringding Jr, dropped the Jr and the Ringding was gone as we knew it

It's not the change in size that bothers me, it's the lack of change in price.

The Kit Kat candy bar has the name “Kit Kat” imprinted in the chocolate. That robs you of chocolate! That’s a clever chocolate-saving technique. I’m gonna go down to the factory and say, “you owe me some letters!”

That's a job I should get; the one who gets to eat the "Kit Kat" scraps after they have been imprinted.

That happened with a guy I know when his dad died.

And it costs >twice as much in the pouch. I just split the differentce and buy the 12 oz can of store-brand white tuna rather than the name-brand light tuna.

My related pet peeve is containers that you can't get all the food out of. Like, some fancy yogurt cups, and those ridged plastic containers at self-serve salad bars. To eat all your food, you end up having to scrape out each ridge. Very tedious.
