These Photos Prove the Products We Buy Are Shrinking

We’ve heard a lot about inflation lately, but are you familiar with “Shrinkflation”?

It basically means that we’re paying the same price (or more) for products we’ve bought for years but the products keep getting smaller.

Yeah, it’s a major bummer!

And here are 10 photos that prove it’s happening all over the place.
