Hi. I worked for Burger King late 1980s to early 1990s when it had great Canadian ham and fresh croissants for breakfast. We made our own fresh scrambled eggs. Then, Burger King switched to a pre-made egg mix that got shipped in cartons.

[@trumpwonandyouknowit]

I also was at Burger King late 1980s to early 1990s when it had introduced the BK Broiler Chicken which was fabulous back then. It was actually one of my favorite items to order back then.

[@trumpwonandyouknowit]

Now...One fast food restaurant that I have a problem with is PANDA EXPRESS. The portions seem smaller as well.

Another item that you might want to compare is breakfast pancakes in restaurants and even stores. ALDI'S refrigerated pancakes you need 6 pancakes for a person now.🤔😮😲

[@BabbleTop]

@edbrown6985 The downsizing dilemma strikes again! Smaller portions, bigger prices. What's going on, food industry? 🥺

[@bikeny]

Years ago I used to buy Breyer's half-gallons and one summer I noticed that I was finishing the container somewhat faster than in previous times (sure, it's all me, so I can't blame anyone else). But, it took me 3 separate purchases to discover that they had zapped the stuff with the Grocery Shrink Ray causing it to go from 64 ounces down to, iirc, 48 ounces. I stopped buying it at that point, since, as we all know, the price didn't go down. And then there's an orange juice brand that went from 64 ounces down to fifty-something ounces. Again, I stopped buying their fresh-squeezed stuff. And then at some point afterwards, they became what I call corporate naming rights johns when they paid to be the name of a field for a sports team. I go out of my way to NOT buy products and services from those companies (I'll eat their stuff, I just wont give them my money). Yes, it's cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I do what I can.

[@johndoe3johndoe382]

Yeah ice cream shrunk from half gallon to 1.41 quarts and bs like that. Worst of all, a lot of ice cream companies changed from simple ingredients like milk, cream, sugar, to substituting with hydrogenated oils, seed oils, plant gums, and changed to "frozen dairy desert." Make sure you read the ingredients, if it's a huge paragraph containing oils, don't buy that trash, it's toxic for you.

Just a few cents here and there. (You could still get the cheap ones at Dollar tree, but CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, ALDIs, and DG started creeping the price up a few cents at a time. In 2020, they didn’t even try to hide it; they f///ing _DOUBLED_ the price… and you’re still only getting 5 fun size candy bars. King size and regular size candy bars in the 2000s were a lot thicker than they were in the 2010s.

There exists a device called a *hotlogic* which can be plugged into many cars; both old ones and modern.

They are extremely cheap and I highly recommend getting one. It’s gotten me out of a pinch several times, especially back when I was living out of my car because of catastrophic rent/mortgage prices.

Down with tipping. Your employer should pay you a fair wage. I shouldn’t have to pay the cost of your food (which is already too high) AND pay you an additional amount for service which may or may not suck.

As the topic of shrinkflation, with its diminishing product sizes but stable prices, garners attention, there's a darker trend worth spotlighting: scanflation. This issue extends beyond the realms of inflation or smaller packaging-it's a greed-fueled mechanism quietly lining the pockets of retailers through frequent, unnoticed overcharges. The occasional discovery of such pricing "errors" typically ends in an apology, yet the cycle of invisible overcharges rolls on, leveraging ephemeral deals that soon vanish. It’s a covert theft affecting those with the least leeway. To peel back the layers on this form of corporate malfeasance, searching scanflation videos could highlight the major players exploiting this strategy.

McDonald's Quarter Pounder has not changed in size, likewise the Big Mac and Mcmuffins are the same size as always. What has changed is the size of the cold drinks.

But its free refills, dont matter what size u get if u eat in!!!!

[@bob59pa]

True if you're dining in, but not true in the drive thru.@@johnmacdonald3070

This is why I only eat at three different restaurants. QDOBA, Los Agave's & Great Wall.

Well, I think they're all going outta business. Like so many, I just dont do fast food anymore. Its bad for us anyway. R.I.P. fast food.

This all angers me! I work next to a mom and pop place all family owned and yes prices have gone up portions have not! I have even asked them to lower the amount of chilli on my chilli cheese dogs! I felt guilty having another meal or even two on their dime. It is simple, dont go to these corporate losers! Go to local and family owned! You actually get what you pay for!

The problem with Domino’s pizza size is a skill issue not a shrink issue... The dough balls havent changed size but if it isnt streached right the pizza wont be the correct size. Of the pies you showed all but 1 were improperly made, and the other looked like it was in the wrong size box ie: M in L box or L in an XL (which happened to me when I ordered a few weeks back bc the store ran out of L boxes)
