My wife now only buys the 7.5 oz cans of Coke. On a cost per ounce basis, they cost more, but it’s still cheaper per serving than the 12 oz. I find that it’s plenty to go with my lunch once in a while. I was dumping a third of the 12 oz. cans anyway since I didn’t finish them. When I was growing up, those curvy glass bottles were 7.5 oz., so it’s just back to where they should be. I only have one a couple of times a month or so.
The Tiny Comic panel. Sized to fit the tiny fridge in your new Tiny House. (Which seem to cost more per square foot than a mid-century starter home, but not as YouTube click worthy)
This shrinkflation is dark energy: As the cosmos collapses in on itself, distances shrink faster than objects come together. (The metric is changing.) As a result, it looks like the cosmos expands at an increasing rate. Yes, I do the math.
Last time I picked up a local newspaper a couple years ago (it was on a table in the doctor’s waiting room), the comics section was so small, it was almost unreadable.

Just hold down the Control (CTRL) key and hit the + key 4 or 5 times …
and it’s just like normal (or like it used to be).

There is a limit to shrinkflation: when you have to start splitting atoms.

There was significant shrinkage. It shrinks? Like a frightened turtle. (Seinfeld)

I’ve been trying for shrinkflation for quite some time now. Still need to lose a few pounds.

I thought shrinkflation was an increase in the price of psychotherapy.
