Shrinkflation Exposed: What Big Brands Don’t Want You to Know

You’d be hard pressed to find a Seinfeld fan who doesn’t know what “shrinkage” is. But in real-life shrinkage is a phenomenon that’s happening all around us and it means, companies are secretly selling us less product for the exact same price or even, at an increased price! In fact, one in three supermarket products have stealthily, shrunk over the past 4 years. And that means, we’re all getting much less product but actually paying more! Really, no really! Edgar Dworsky who is known as “Mr. Consumer” has been a consumer advocate for over 45 years, and he joins Jason and Peter to expose selling scams, and to explain and reveal how many companies rely on and use “shrinkflation" and "skimpflation". *** IN THIS EPISODE: Shrinkflation is legal, so consumer beware. Where have all the local consumer reporters gone? When salad dressings replace oil …for water! The hidden shrinkflation inside dollar stores. How “Party Size” and “New and Improved” trick customers. Toilet paper rolls have 90% less sheets than they had in the 1960’s. Shrinkflation isn’t isolated to your supermarket. What triggers someone to become a consumer advocate? We’re celebrating 75 years of shrinkflation! Jason and Peter share their personal habits relating to expiration dates. The strange lengths Jason takes to postpone eating his bananas!
