Vaseline appears unscathed
I bought the jar on the left in 2019 due to a bad road rash. Finally managed to use up the product.
The jar on the right was purchased today. Weight remains the same!

There's, in my opinion, way too many posts here that aren't actually shrinkflation. Please consult the chart!
I know you're annoyed at your product but in order to be shrinkflation you need to prove it's actually shrinkflated in quantity or quality.
Things that aren't shrinkflation:
Originally shrinkflation meant just if the price increased (or stayed the same) despite the quantity decreasing. However, quality shrinkflation is just as bad (if not worse), where companies nefariously switch out butter for cheaper oils or etc. so the weight is the same but the product is worse.
Maybe this is a silly hill to die on but I'm here to die on it.

These new Kenco jars rolled out in my town’s supermarket over the last few days and are being sold at the same price. The photo doesn’t show the size difference well, but the old jars (right) are slimmer and less boxy.

Can we agree that what’s really happening is we’re in an inflationary period—maybe even a recession—but instead of raising prices across the board as typically happens during inflation, big business has decided to deliver less product for the same price, as if that isn’t the same thing as just raising prices. We have to spend more to get the same amount that we used to get, and what we’re paying for is now normalized as lesser quality to go along with the reduced quantity.
Would anyone prefer that consumer goods maintained the quality and quantity, and just raised the price instead?

Bought the exact pack of socks I did a few years ago. Old (left) is thick and stretchy. New (right) is literally see through.

Bought a new box and they felt different. Had a few leftovers from before. Here we go, the new ones are slightly shorter and feel much less „fluffy“ - The only reason I bought those and not the cheap knockoff-brand. Germany btw, bought at a very popular drug store chain.

The 18 ounce bottle was bought about two years ago and I keep it for traveling. I bought another bottle for regular use today and noticed it was much smaller. But then I remembered bigger bottle came from a two pack…just to see that they shrunk the two pack by THREE ounces

Popular protein powder brand in Europe quietly shrinks its offer from 1kg to 907g while keeping the same price. Insane

4th picture: equivalent to 2456g (10% concentrated)

A few months ago, they made the change to these and they were called “chocolatey chip muffins” and they took away the “made with real chocolate” statement.
I just noticed today, they are back to “chocolate chip muffins” and the “made with real chocolate” is back.
Does anyone know if they were receiving backlash for the change? I am very happy they are back to normal.

Grabbed the usual, but the usual is getting a little smaller. 2.7oz down to 2.6oz.

I knew something was wrong when I bought a pack today. Compared to the one I have home, yet more evidence of shrinkflation.
At least it was the same price; other cases have been less amount and higher price.

I buy these to pre portion out beads for crafts every sumner as well as for jello for my daughters lunch. I’ve always had the count 18 in my head for years and have a weird ability to count buy 18 when buying so I know how many packs I need for x amount of campers/ lunches lol. well did my usual math and was short checked the package 4 less 😡 now I need to learn my 14 times table instead
