LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Remember "shrinkflation," that trending term a couple of years ago when it seemed every grocery product was getting smaller?
Well, it's back! Just when it seemed manufacturers had taken a breather from shrinking their products, it seems they have found some new ways to give us less.
Simply Orange has recently shrunk from 52 to 46 oz. Crystal Light lemonade packets now come in a pack of four, when previously it was six.
Bounty Paper Towel triple rolls have shrunk from 135 sheets to 123, and Ruffles potato chips are now 8.5 oz. bags instead of 9 oz.
Manufacturers are continuing to find new ways to shrink their products, even when they have already been downsized.
The good news is we have been seeing less shrinkflation this year, possibly because so many items are already so small.
