Shrinkflation May Leave Fewer Chips in Your Bag | WSJ Price Index 

Right lol

🤣

Whaaa? Why would they put chips in our bags of air

Leftover from ceo

Do you want crumbs or do you want chips? This joke as been made a billion times, the air is the pocket of protection. Do you want your chips to come in a tin can and cost 50% more?

@@thatguy5801 Theirs some that do..... Pringles and their so good 👍

@@firedriver8367 Pringles comes in a cardboard container with a single aluminum round at the bottom. And for the amount you get for the price you are paying for the packaging. 235g for Doritos in a bag vs Pringles at 156g for the same price.

If your complaining about buying potato chips the problem probably isn't a potato chip.

@@thatguy5801they are not the same price

The COOL act was repealed in 2015 started a lot of B's with that

a hypothetical problem: what happens when EVERY company is like this?

Depends what it is.

It doesn't come off as shady- it is 🤨

@@kalui96 You don't think they already are?

@@billbillerton6122 it was a rhetorical question

yes thanks, I wanted to reply and say the same thing too; thanks for that good point.

Where can we read more about this

1980s, no apostrophes in plurals.

Interesting...

That's what happens when the government uses the monetary printing press as means to fund their promises and programs. The dollar died in 1971 when Nixon finally severed its tie to gold. At that moment on, government could tax citizens indirectly by debasing the currency through inflation. This rolls down the hill, finally resting on the backs of the common (no-asset holding) person. We blame companies for being greedy; however, they are responding naturally to maintain shareholder value. The government is getting off scot-free and continuing to wreck the economy and people's lives through this hidden tax--all to fund nonsense programs and export funding to warlords, wars, and other governments.

noticed it on Big Macs when i was around 8 by the time i was 18 the gen after me was used to that big mac that's esentially a medium mac. they even cut on the sauce .

@@PHlophe i knew i wasnt crazy, they charged 3.50 for the big one a few years ago and its over 5 for the new one now! crazy

I hate the 28oz drinks now. I want my full 32oz back!

@@xoMissTaylorDivine you know what I'm talking about.

ja ja ja !

😂😂😂

Checks were a new thing. Then became norm. Credit cards were a new thing. They became norm. U-scans were a new thing. Companies are still pushing them to become norm. Major names are always "training" us.

Nepali noodles now cost NRs20😭 Actually some cost Rs50😭😭

Shrinkflation has been going on for years. My liquid detergent used to be 5 litres, then 5 kg. It got progressively smaller through the years until 3.5kg now with pack price also having increased. Actual unit price far exceeds compounded official government inflation rates. As a result, I changed to a different brand that is better but cheaper. I wonder how much wsj got paid by those shrinkflatiors to potray them as innocently reacting to costs pressures. Those shrinkflating companies should look into how much they waste on advertising & marketing (bullshitting activities that do not give consumers value). I also wonder how much wsj was paid to not mention consumers turning to lower price alternative brands.

WSJ has to be friendly to maintain their advertisement revenue, they'll never be too hard on the companies

@Adora Tsang yes they have gotten smaller I got a Big Mac the other day u would’ve that it was a bread and lettuce sandwhich

Reeses chocolate even brags about it. With McDonalds at some point you realize that you can make your own at home even you buy premade patties you are saying saving a lot.

that's why they have the grand big Mac. dare them to call the big Mac little Mac lol !

Just don't charge the same price for a tiny packet

@@randomlygeneratedname7171 Oh they do! It already begun 😑 Family size is no longer family size.

Now they have to eat one more bag in one sitting due to shrinkflation 😇

Yes but employees have annual reviews and people need to look clever. It's a colossal waste of time.

You say that but people would not be happy paying higher prices for the same size package they're already complaining about the cost of food.

@@debbieframpton3857 Worse, people just won't buy it. Makes more sense to fool around with other numbers.

@@chrislim7976 I would rather them be honest instead of being the crooked little fks they are.

@@billbillerton6122 Lot of worse things than in life than people fooling around with weight and volume of Doritos man... 😂

Most consumers are stupid

@@varunvangimalla9001 - No. That's the fallacy believed by corporations, and an excuse they use to lie.

Me too

Actually, yes most customers are stupid. They keep buying those products.

Never.

Well it was not new normal that was just inflation as usual

All corporations are using the pandemic, war and inflation as an excuse to become more and more extreme in their cost saving greedy tactics. The worse of all? ITS WORKING BEAUTIFULLY FOR THEM. Look at all the CEOs reporting record breaking profits in their earnings calls! To top it all, the average American blames the political side they disagree with. Meanwhile corporations are laughing their way to the bank while 90% of American fight between each other and blames the blue or the reds. Perfect crime, for the perfect criminals.

I did I just found a deal buy two get three free cost me $1.67 for bags of Lay's chips. You don't have to eat them all in one week

and non stop ads !!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol i remember joking about this

One packet of chips will have literally one chip.

I used to struggle with the packages because they were so big. Now I handle them easily.

Jesus Christ. Corporations love comments like this. They love the fact that they can screw we the American people and instead of looking at them, ppl immediately blame their political opponents. Sleepy Joe or DT have little do with this. It's the ENTIRE corrupt political system built by both parties. We don't have a democracy or socialism, in America we have CORPORATISM. They get away with whatever they want: Raising prices, subscription based models. Tier based services and goods just to charge more. Shrinkflation. And from the workforce side? Mediocre salaries and wages that have become stagnant since the 80s. Outsourcing American jobs, cutting pensions and benefits from their loyal employees all to make more and more that they end up using in stock buybacks, you name it. Every greedy tactic under the sun. All because corruption is legal in the USA, where lobbyism is legal. No other 1st world country would accept such as disgusting and corrupt system. They own politicians from BOTH SIDES who have helped in the de- regulation process, and now they can literally get away with anything. To make it even better the vast majority of Americans blames the other political side, while mega corporations enrich themselves by screwing us more and more with each passing day. It's the perfect crime...

Just boycott these junk food companies period. It will be good for you in the long run

You can do nothing, just as most consumers consume, and no consumer actually produces anything themselves, you're along for the ride because you've given up the steering wheel for a grocery cart.

Stop voting Democrat.

Maybe we need to stop buying and start our own farms

PPA is just another example of the nonsense used by lousy companies that sell junk with expensive advertising, marketing & promotion instead of giving consumers real tangible quality & quantity.

They used to be .08 then .12 then 17. Now there .34

Gabrielita, now that sounds like community betrayal. Qué Triste !

Don’t forget one-pound packages of dried lentils and beans. Cheaper than anything, and the best thing for your health.

hah ah ahhahahahah ahahaha i laughed beer out my nose when I read this lol.

@@ydvisual5530 thanks. But its true. M&M in the peanut bag, all of them don't have peanuts

Yeah, there is a lot to it; agreed - all aspects need to be considered.

I feel for them. Most hotels gave them away. Because of covid. They didn't want to wash them... I got 6 small and big toilets for a 3 day stay. Weight was like 9 pounds lol
