Along with the very obvious downsizing of packaging, products of all kinds, etc, has anyone else noticed that toothpaste consistency has gotten more watery? So, perhaps the weight stays the same but that’s due to water being added. That’s my observation with Crest toothpaste anyway.
Shrinkflation, isn’t it lovely.

I've noticed it almost in everything. Even those little sugar free drink packets. I opened one the other day and there was almost no powder in it.

The crackers I like come in wrapped stacks in the box and I noticed that the stacks are much shorter. Box is the same size, but I'm sure the total weight is down.

And then there's "nominal size". You buy a tarp that says it's 10'x12' and it's actually 9 1/2' x 11 1/2' ....nominal size. (In small print)
I'd like to see what would happen if I got up to the register and they said "That'll be $20, please" and I say, "OK, here's $19.50 in nominal payment."
Think I'd get out of the store?

most of the ones i get might have a total of 2 tsp if lucky. however if they had more they'd be too sweet to drink.

I sometimes feel good about shrinkflation when it comes to chocolate. I feel less guilty eating, well, less. 
But I draw the line at their reducing my boxes of tea bags from 250, to 210. Come on guys, not the TEA!
Bubbles. It's got to have bubbles. Same with Shampoo. Because I'm a man, I thought you could order just any shampoo. So I decided to go for a new brand just for the heck of it. NO BUBBLES. Did it clean my hair? Yes. But since there were no bubbles, I'll never use it again.
Same with toothpaste. I want froth!
