Shrinkflation Is Getting Out of Control

[Zwielicht]

So there are these pills I buy because I keep them around for whenever I get bit by a mosquito or have a mild allergic reaction after accidentally eating almonds.

Anyway, so I've bought these cetirizine hydrochloride pills for years now. They used to sell them as a 100 count for about $15, which is great because this lasts me for quite a long time.

I bought some the other day, same sized bottle, same packaging, but when I opened them just now, there were barely any pills in them.

Then I noticed it, where in the tiniest font imaginable, it said it was 30 count.

The new pill bottle is on the left and the old one is on the right.

Same price as well, and I checked, and you can't even get the 120 count bottle anymore, at least not near me.

I keep track of this shrinkflation regularly and even save receipts in some cases because these companies try to make you feel like you're going crazy by pointing this stuff out. You can see another example of this in my thread about Sparkletts as well.
