There is an article at AP News by Dee-Ann Durban on June 8, 2022 titled No, you’re not imagining it – package sizes are shrinking that was repeated at NPR with the title ‘Shrinkflation’ accelerates globally as manufacturers quietly shrink package sizes. It mentioned that Gator Ade bottles had been downsized by 12.5% from 32 oz. to 28 oz. I recently noticed that some 99-cent packages of dry pasta had gone down even more from 16 oz. to 12 oz. (by 25%). Wikipedia even has an article titled Shrinkflation.
