I found a 10 year old 7 ounce can of tuna in the back of our pantry

I too found some tuna in the pantry, unlike yours, mine was about 45 years old.

Mine actually gained in weight.

She goes about treefiddy know.

Shrinkflation is real. It is a combination of inflation and the fact that companies have to continue to turn out larger profits to keep shareholders happy.

I steal every chance I get from every store. Fuck em'.

My last experience with a tuna fish sandwich didn't turn out so good. My landlord gave me one and I got violently ill. I think she cleaned her fridge out.

The width of a roll of toilet paper has been shrinking as well.

I recently bought and drank a can of Mike's hard lemonade which I never had before. It tasted kind of funky but at the time I figured that's just how the product tastes.

After I finished it, I looked at the bottom of the can to find a 2004 expiration date on it.

Fortunately, I had no side effects whatsoever.

The criminal cabal in Washington DC do not use energy and food when determining inflation.

After I stopped eating any and all fast food due to the pandemic in March, shortly before then I noticed several things got smaller:

1. Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburgers at Jack In the Box had a definite size decrease.
2. Large Fries were cut down to medium-size fries (you would have to buy two medium fries to equal the original size large fries you could get at Jack In the Box).
3. Even cheeseburgers and other menu items at Jack In the Box got smaller.
3. Large Fries at McDonalds actually shrunk in size.
4. Same thing with sausage mcmuffins at McDonalds.
5. I also noticed the double whoppers at Burger King got smaller as well. I tried one for the first time in a few years at least 1 year before the pandemic, and even they had gotten smaller.

But things are most definitely not the same size they were just 2-3 years ago.

1980s
250 sheets, was a standard roll

now they call 254 a double roll

sorry fuckers there was never a 127 sheet roll

japs are low class anyway. we're all heading towards poor; some of us are there already.

I dont think it is the corporations but the fed printing money for the rich investors in the markets. Its driving inflation through the roof.

There are generic versions that are only a few cents cheaper.

When a company fails to innovate, acquire new sales, etc things that increase sales, they will cannibalize their own product and customers through things like shrinkflation or substituting ingredients, etc anything to get the costs down so they can report profit to shareholders.

This is what happens when capitalism fails.

We have moved into end stage cutthroat disaster capitalism.

They're hoping you won't notice. There is a reason why many food jars have the dip on bottom.

I never liked fish much... fresh water perch fresh caught was ok.. white tuna only... I like lobster .. shrimp.. not scallops..

I lost for tuna after I quit meat for several reasons.. which was at least 20 years ago now.

fake meat is getting decent tasting but I am so used to no making things with meat anymore... that I don't use much of that.

I use fish oil caps for the good fats in meat for a long time not... including regular and high DHA ones...

which ever sounds the best to you.....

Marlin.

I remember making a tuna sandwich and eating the left over out of the can. Now there’s just barely enough to make a sandwich.

Op, its been happening for a very long time now...

The reduction in size of portions...

The ingredients being used are different and cheaper in a lot of products, that I used to buy...

Yea for years they've been doing that.

This has happened before.

He already did

At least you can get six 12oz cans of canned chicken breast for $10 at Sam's/Costco. Cheaper and tastes better. Have lots of it stored as preps.

Last year when still watching football i noticed a box of captain crunch only lasted barely into 3rd quarter. Use to finish last bowl at end of game.

Is it true that during the first world war they were eating food that had been canned during the Napoleonic wars?
If so, how was it?

They even messed with the recipe of Haagen Dasz to still keep the price point, and the reduced it to 14 ounce instead of a pint. Sucks now.

Publix still makes real full fat ice cream, on sale often...2 half-gallons for $6. Real 64 ounce half gallons...

They were sealed with lead back then. They would have died of lead poisoning, nevermind spoiled food.

I ate it and it was fine.

Great observation!

That was brave of you! I would have tossed it out of paranoia, but I will say that tuna doesn’t seem to taste nearly as delicious as it did when I was a kid! I know you can still get it packed in oil (which I think tastes the best), but it still isn’t the same!

I like it enough to eat it anyway, but I miss the tuna of “the old days”!

like we don't know what youre talking about
