My bad!!

Shrinkflation is SUPER bad, but this likely wasn't an example of it.

The question is whether they're talking about their sizes being smaller than they were, or whether they're talking about it relative to other larger pizzas.

[–] YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stop looking for context, this is supposed to inspire rage.

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Not really, if something is inspiring rage then it's too hardcore for this community. The sidebar even explicitly says "not enraging"!

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Inspire and not evoke…?

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah my problem is not that they offer smaller sizes, but when they try to deceive consumers about how much they are getting in order to increase the unit price. Calling attention to it the way that this pizza box does almost feels honest in comparison to what most companies do.

So this isn't shrinkflation, this is a small size pizza that they're trying to claim is still as tasty as a full pizza?

Like, if you wanted a full pizza it should be pretty obvious it's a small 4.5" pizza from the box?

[–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Oh shit-- is it?! Fuck. Lol, will delete.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

How big were they before?

who has evet said, "I wish i had less pizza to eat :)

I have said it before. But usually after eating way too much pizza.

“Why are those small candy bars called ‘Fun Size’? What’s ‘fun’ about less candy?”

  • some comedian whose name I can’t remember
[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Here in the UK they dropped fun size from the label and discontinued the regular ones

We help you lose weight by charging more for less!

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

We did it!

Such a difficult accomplishment 🥹

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

First time you see this? Magnum did it years ago. They were saying "we made the magnum smaller because we care about your health". Same price of course though!

They went from 110 to 90 centiliter I think, 20% reduction in size. Magnums look small now.

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

At least they are not hiding it.

[–] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Flavor isn't measurable tho

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

My taste spuds think it is!

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The autocorrect error makes this even funnier

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

OP never heard of bagel bites.
