This weekend I had the joy experiencing some beautiful shrinkflation! I
discovered that toothpaste has gone from 100 ml, to 75 ml, to a new record
50 ml tube! Of course keeping the price unchanged!

On top of that, the dark chocolate bar we use for baking from time to time

Since I sell consulting hours, I've been thinking about redefining my
hours to consist of 45 minutes instead of 60 while keeping the price the
same. I hope my customers, in the spirit of shrinkflation will accept
this! ;)

I wish this type of shrink inflation would be criminalized. Just horrible.

 I agree! But we must have faith in the market! Sooner or later, the ones that go too far will be punished by competitors who up the sizes again!
