Shrinkflation: another corporate swindle on consumers aimed at masking the true rate of inflation.
- As prices surge in US amid inflation levels not seen in 50 years, companies have engaged in practice called product downsizing, or ‘shrinkflation,’ to cut costs
- Notable brands to ‘shrinkflate’ their products in recent months as the American dollar continues to lessen in value include Charmin, Bounty, and Gatorade
- As bottom lines continue to tighten, more companies are starting to follow suit
- Joining the parade of downsized products is Honey Bunches of Oats, which has seen the weight of its standard box, previously 14.5 ounces, lessen to 12 ounces
- Another shrinkflation casualty to emerge in recent weeks was instant coffee provider Folger’s, which shrank the size of its canisters by 7.5 ounces
- The US inflation rate hit 8.5 percent in March, the highest seen since 1981
