In some brands the cardboard tube has ever so slightly increased in diameter, too.
(since I have no life, I notice stuff like this...)

Nothing new. TP rolls have gotten smaller over the past 20-30 years. Today’s “big” double rolls are no where near the size of regular ones from years past.

Look at a bag of potato chips. they are now around 1.5 to 11 ounces, and have increased to an average of $2.99.

And in the article, mention of Star Kist
Tuna getting smaller. That was noticeable.

Nancy Pelousey is getting greedy in her wealthy capitalist life style. So we shouldn’t buy Star Kist anyhow.

I do a lot of grocery shopping with and without my wife. Food inflation vs portion deflation is definitely running rampant.
But according to the government, inflation is way low.
They lie.

all according to plan, as the far left has decided toilet paper is destroying the planet, hence we should stop using it

I seriously have no life, and I stood in Wal Mart with a calculator figuring out lowest cost per square footage. Scott came out ahead by leaps and bounds. One roll has more paper that other brand ‘triple big rolls’.

We noticed this a couple months back.
The rolls of TP have shrunk in width.

There's now a HUGH gap on both ends of the holder.

Same thing has happened to White Cloud. The rolls are now about .5” shorter and many feet shorter.
