The other form of inflation that is occurring but rarely mentioned is shrinking product size.

A “half-gallon” of ice cream is 1.5 gallons. Not long ago it was 1.75 gallons.

If you try to buy a pound of kielbasa you’ll get 14 ounces.

I guess that, at some point in time, it may even reach 0.5 gallons.

Imagine that: A half-gallon tub containing 0.5 gallons.
