I’ve not had Pringles for years. The shrinkflation epidemic just got personal.

  1. Feels like the tube has gotten smaller too. It’s even harder to stick my hand into the tube of deliciousness 🙁

  2. Contiuous-debasement on

    I thought I got a bargain when I saw them on special in Coles the other day. Opened them and immediately noticed the smaller chips and a much lower stack. At least I didn’t pay full price?

  3. I get having a favorite brand for regular chips but for chips like Pringles? Arent those just potato mush based instead?

  4. Need a shrinkflation & enshitification law.

    Anytime a product that has been sold, is repackaged or altered to in any way be in a smaller size, weight, dimension, or has any of its constituent items reduced, or degraded in quality. It must be clearly stated on the pagage, in the largest font that appears on the packaging (for a minimum 12 months)

    NEW SMALLER/LIGHTER SIZE or CONTENTS REDUCED IN QUALITY

    Can still do it, but you can’t try to sneak it through, it has to be shouted out.

    Failure to comply = fine of 4x turnover of product for the entire period it is sold for.

    Compliance fines should prevent profit and cause loss. They shouldn’t just be an acceptable cost of doing business.

  5. Same here. I bought a can and started eating it when I was in the cinema so I didn’t notice the size. I notice how small they are when I got home and was so surprised.

  6. Go and buy a packet on Sakata crackers. The cunts took a whole row out and charge the same price!
