I didn't even notice the earlier changes!

Oh nonsense!

It's not that the toilet paper is getting smaller...it's that Michelle butt is getting bigger!

[Vaquero]

we're being squeezed

[Celtic Cross]

I thought the OJ containers looked smaller!

And I knew I wasn't using THAT much more toilet paper!

[LibLieSlayer]

I can tell you this... the first major toilet paper company that refuses to shrink and offers the consumer more for less in this down economy... will dominate that market for decades. Same goes for all products. When times are hard... we remember... and I have been through catah... I know!

I guess “One-Square Cheryl’s” plan is working to perfection.

The Time-Life idiots have it exactly backwards.

Sizes commonly shrink during inflation. Decreasing portions are merely another way of raising prices.

That is, of course, if we are actually having inflation. According to Helicopter Ben and TurboTax Tim, we are really undergoing deflation, and we need to print several trillion in order to stimulate the economy and create jobs and coincidentally fund the Rats' grand socialist experiments.

Therefore AWP is not really shrinking in size.

One of the most obvious objects of this type of BS are candy bars. When I was a kid, candy bars were huge, but over the years they became much smaller and the price didn’t stay the same. Today it is almost everything, ice cream half gallons are now 1.5 quarts, yet the price stays the same and the pundits claim there is no inflation because prices, on some items, have stayed static, failing to mention you are getting much less for the same price.

[YankeeReb]

For a lot of items take a look at the unit prices when you shop. Keep track of them on a weekly basis and you'll notice the change immediately.

Thank goodness this shrinkage phenomena doesn't affect everything.

Just noting that today, FR posts are beefier, fatter, and longer. Replies are more numerous and substantial as well!

Around my house it doesn't matter how big the roll is, because this is how I am sure to find it everytime I go into the bathroom!

And Leon’s getting laaaaaaarger!

Have you noticed that the napkins you get today at many foods shops like pizzerias practically dissolve in your hands? They fall apart very easily. The quality of a lot of stuff today, due to environmentalism, is awful.

Potato chips are on my food pyramid.

Four years ago I could buy the store brand chips in a one lb. box for 99¢. Today that store brand is 6 oz. for 99¢. For major brands, the best deal I can find is the on sale two for one price - $3.99 for two 13 oz. bags. And I see that some flavors of chips are down to 11.75 oz. It’s time for a potato chip party in Boston harbor. I do have warpaint.

When manufacturers are forced to go ‘metric’ because of the ‘Global’ economy - they will use the opportunity to reduce product/quantity size again.

Anyone notice the smaller patties in McDonald’s McDouble sandwiches? The patties aren’t even round anymore, more like oval-shaped.

[Texas Mulerider]

Frito-Lay has played this game for years.

It’s like everything else, we must learn to live with LESS as Obama drives us into poverty. Inflation will raise the price as we get less for our money. Besides we MUST worship the EARTHand go to all EXTREMES to preserve the environment. Ideally they’d like U.S. to not use toilet paper and have our loo be the outdoors and save it as compost.
