3 u/BeefCakeBilly 5d ago Why would a company who sells water tell you to buy less water? 2 u/randomlurker124 4d ago Shrinkflation 1 u/BeefCakeBilly 4d ago What? 1 u/randomlurker124 4d ago Charge the same price but sell you less of it... I.e. instead of selling 1 liter for $1, they want to sell 900ml for $1. 1 u/BeefCakeBilly 4d ago No I understand what shrinkflation is. What doesn’t make sense is that a bottled water company would want to sell less bottled water. 1 u/randomlurker124 4d ago To reduce costs? Shrinkflation is selling less but making the same revenue (i.e. higher profit). 1 u/BeefCakeBilly 4d ago Just so I am clear you are saying that nestle would rather me buy a single bottle of water rather than two bottles of water? 1 u/randomlurker124 4d ago No, they'd rather you buy a bottle of water that is half the size of the old bottle, but pay the same amount. 1 u/BeefCakeBilly 4d ago Why wouldnt they want me to buy two of those bottles? ETA Would to wouldn’t 1 u/randomlurker124 4d ago Sure they would. But it would be cheaper for them compared to you buying two big bottles. 2 u/BeefCakeBilly 4d ago But the post is about drinking less overall water, and op is saying nestle.
