19 Real-Life Examples Of Shrinkflation In June 2025
Recently, I rounded up some examples of "shrinkflation" from the past year or so, and people had SO MUCH to say about them. (Okay, mostly one thing, but in many different words). In case you've never run across the term, shrinkflation is when a product gets smaller but the price stays the same. You might not notice it at first, but you'll definitely wind up paying more for less product in the long run. So, I decided to keep digging and found these 19 real-life examples of shrinkflation that people found in stores in the past month. Get ready to be enraged: This person wrote that they thought their new box of Premium Plus saltines felt lighter, so they compared a new cracker from May to one of the last crackers in the package they bought in April. And this person noticed that the packaging for these large fries got smaller from one week to the next. While restocking their store, this grocery worker noticed that the orange juice bottle is now 6 ounces smaller. This Walmart shopper wrote, "I bought the bag on the left on May 8 in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Today is May 23. I bought the same bag, at the same store, for the same price, but 100g less of chicken." This photo shows a Pringles can from 2012 on the left vs. a new one from 2025 on the right. And this person noted that a change in the packaging helped disguise the fact that this frozen pizza now weighs 20 grams less. These delicious chips shrunk from 7 ounces in a bag to just 5 ounces. The person who posted this wrote, "They think we won't notice..." And this person decided to measure this so-called 8-inch tortilla on a hunch: The Dollar General shopper who posted this wrote, "Apparently the snack size candy bar packs are going from 5 pack down to 4 pack but staying the same price. Shameful." These two jars of pasta sauce were purchased a week apart. These sauce packets from Popeye's are noticeably smaller: And the sheets of toilet paper in the package on the right are ever so slightly smaller than the ones in the package on the left. The person who posted this wrote, "Breyers' new packaging went from 1.66L down to 1.41L, but the price stayed the same." New look, same taste, but 4 ounces less in the package. And this jar of Vegemite went from 380 grams to 370. This spray-on deodorant slimmed its can and lost 50 milliliters. Commenters were asking, "Is this even legal???" after learning that this tiny tube of toothpaste came out of a much larger box. And finally, this 10-pack just shrank down to an 8-pack. Have you spotted shrinkflation in your local stores? Tell us about it in the comments or send me an email with the subject line "Shrinkflation."

Prison officers told to wear body armour in high-security jails after attacks
Prison officers will be told to wear body armour in high-security prisons, the Government has announced, days after a staff member was seriously injured in a stabbing. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood said prison officers would be told to wear body armour in settings at the highest categories of prisons in England and Wales, telling MPs it would apply to close supervision centres, separation centres and segregation units. It came as shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick repeated his warning that a prison officer could be killed unless stronger action is taken. The incident at HMP Long Lartin on Saturday was the latest in a series of attacks on prison officers in recent months. The staff member at the prison near Evesham, Worcestershire, had to undergo emergency surgery after being stabbed by an inmate and is now said to be in a stable condition. Meanwhile in May, Southport triple killer Axel Rudakubana was accused of throwing boiling water at a prison officer through a cell door at HMP Belmarsh, causing minor injuries. A month previously, Manchester bomb plotter Hashem Abedi was moved to Belmarsh from HMP Frankland after allegedly throwing boiling cooking oil at three prison officers. Abedi was previously found guilty of attacking a prison officer in 2020. Ms Mahmood asked Jonathan Hall KC to lead an independent review into events at Frankland in County Durham, which will examine whether current protection for prison officers is sufficient. He will also evaluate whether separation centres, which are in place to manage the most dangerous prisoners, are fit for purpose. She told MPs on Tuesday: 'Today, I can announce I will mandate its use in close supervision centres, separation centres and segregation units in the high security estate. 'This is my initial response to the review, but I will set out further action on body armour in due course. 'When Jonathan Hall's independent review into the Frankland attack reports, I will take any further steps necessary to protect our brave staff.' Mr Jenrick told MPs he still fears for prison officers' safety, as he hit out at Rudakubana having access to 'treats' such as Pringles and Maltesers. He said: 'Brave prison officers are under attack if the Government doesn't act now. I'm warning once again that an officer will be killed on the Justice Secretary's watch. After the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana allegedly attacked an officer with boiling water, he is now bingeing on treats like Maltesers and Pringles. 'When will the Justice Secretary strip Rudakubana and monsters like him of these privileges and put them in solitary confinement, and when will she finally have the backs of all our brave prison officers by giving each and every one of them the protection that they need in the form of high-collar, stab-proof vests, not just a privileged view in the most limited circumstances?' Ms Mahmood said: 'Let me just give the shadow minister a much-needed education here because he appears not to know that under the Tory government, violence on staff in our prisons soared and experienced officers left in droves because of it. 'That is inheritance that I have received and that is the mess that this Government is clearing up. He will know I have already acted on suspending the use of self-cook facilities, I've got Jonathan Hall looking into the HMP Frankland attack, I've made the announcement on body armour, and I won't hesitate to take any further action, but unlike him I won't make, and I quote 'headline-grabbing measures', just for the sake of a headline.'

Strange US Norms That Confuse Non-Americans
Every country has its own unique customs, but the quirky norms and distinct cultural phenomenons associated with the United States might just be the most baffling of all for people not from there. Redditor ExistingTomorrow1447 asked, "Americans, what's something you didn't realize was weird until you talked to non-Americans?" Here's what people said. "The amount of sugar that's in our food. Like ALL of our food contains sugar in some capacity. I worked with foreign students every summer in high school, and they always wondered why our food was so sweet. I didn't realize this was the case until I traveled and ate at restaurants outside the States. —Responsible_Ad_2859 "I learned that root beer is something many people from other countries don't like." —HornetParticular6625 "The way we arrange our dates. Month, day, year. Most of the world arranges it day, month, year." "The fact that Halloween as a holiday is SO popular here with both kids and adults." —Buffyverse22 "When I moved to Japan, I was shocked that people would go to the doctor for a cold. To me, it was normal to avoid the hospital at all costs unless there was something really serious going on." —ghost_in_the_potato "Drug testing. I've worked various jobs since I was 13 years old and never even heard about the concept of drug testing except for convicted felons coming back from detention leave or something like that. Then I worked in the US, and my boss was like, 'Well, obviously, I'm gonna have to drug test you before you can sort parcels.' "Having a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink." —CloudySkye93 "Requiring cashiers to stand up. It seemed normal when I lived in the US, but now that I'm in Spain and see cashiers sitting down I wonder why they can't sit while working in the US." —foo_bar_qaz "Ranch dressing. Years ago, I was in Italy, and we found a 'cool American' flavor for Pringles. Turns out it's just ranch." —NRMusicProject "Drug advertising. I got so used to filtering out the side effects, I didn't realize how absurd it all sounds to people who didn't grow up hearing them." "Figuring out your taxes. What do you owe? I don't know. Does the government? Yes. Will they just tell you? No, go figure it out, but if you get it wrong, you're in trouble." —Drstamwell "I didn't notice how many flags Americans have around until I left America. Other countries don't have giant national flags at their car dealerships." "That tipping is expected and often seen as part of a worker's salary, but in many other countries, service charges are included in the bill. As a result, tipping in other countries isn't as common or even expected." "I was recently visiting a friend in another country. When we were chatting, the pledge came up, and every American said it completely in unison, down to the breaths. All the non-Americans freaked the heck out." —Icannotthinkofagood1 "My Aussie friend who visited seemed to be completely shocked that we had an entire aisle dedicated to sugary breakfast cereals." —Dreamy_Peaches "I was surprised to realize how people from many other countries hate the taste of peanut butter. It's such a non-controversial flavor here." "That we start our week on Sunday rather than Monday." —poppysox6 "The fact that Americans eat in our cars, whether driving or just sitting in the car eating. Several European visitors have commented on this, so it must be strange." —readerf52 "Every time my extended family visits the US (they live in France), they always request a trip to Costco/Sam's Club! They are amazed (and probably horrified) at all the bulk items that are just for anyone to purchase." —georgiajaymes Do you have something to add? What is something you always considered "normal" as an American that you realized other people find strange? Tell us in the comments or in this anonymous form.
