When I find a normal button in a packet of giant buttons! And it’s a regular occurrence too!
Also monster munch are nowhere near the size they used to be.
What else isn’t like it used to be? |

"‘Dear Walkers; I absolutely love your wonderful crisps and the amazing assorted flavours. When will you be releasing full bags?’  "

I much preferred the old recipe Milkway’s to (they used to come in a blue wrapper).
Those of today have suffered shrinkification in line with the shrinkflation trend and taste.....well, not nearly as good. |

Manners aren't what they used to be! 
But before I get accused of being too serious - what about gravy granules/powder?! Have you noticed how they just don't dissolve properly any more? !-l
And then just pick any packet of biscuits - smaller and less of them, I never used to get through a whole packet in an evening
Gosh I sound grumpy haha  |

"When I find a normal button in a packet of giant buttons! And it’s a regular occurrence too!
Also monster munch are nowhere near the size they used to be.
What else isn’t like it used to be? "
So far, the changes are most visible at the grocery store, where we shoppers are paying the same amount, but getting less. Companies in recent months have tried to camouflage price increases by selling their products in tiny and tinier packages.

I don’t mind the smaller packaging, it’s when the packaging is too big for the product / is only half full. That annoys me as it misleads me on what I am getting |

Milkway - used to be chocolate inside
Bananas & shrimps - smaller and taste different
Creme eggs - smaller and the chocolate has changed.
Too much to mention.
All chocolate has shrunk as base chocolate prices rise. |
