Shrinkflation? How about our paychecks after Bidenomics?
“. . . and another thing, when did they stop putting good prizes in the Cracker Jack box?”

Abe!
Cheating business execs expect us to line their pockets. Their business expenses are theirs to bear, not their customers’.
Commodity prices-sugar and chocolate are going up. Prepare accordingly
Buy you Easter candy now
I’ve been around for a long time. Before we get to when did they stop, when did they ever start?
Brandon was reported to end his remarks with, “Try me. Keep it up an’ it’s gonna be ‘aloha snackbar’ fer everbody.”
"Who stole all the Cheetos?"
Suggestion…buy the store brand. Cheaper and often just as good (or better) than the national brand.
There is no way that this SOB has any idea of what the every day consumer has to deal with. Why do the White House babysitters have to act like this personally comes from Biden?
We better not laugh, there are a lot of people out there that will get angrerer about shrinking candy bars than they do about our military system shrinking around the globe.
Exactly - that SOB has never personally pulled out his wallet to pay for a GD thing.
He doesn’t know JACK.
Ok, either the price stays the same and the quantity is reduced, or the quantity stays the same and the price rises. Either or, no other way out.
So your agree. Either way the problem is corporate profiteering.
What a senile jackass.
Biden should just keep his mouth shut. The Leftists running things probably see it as a fun diversion, like the prestidigitation of a magician who hides what he does with misdirection.
In anyone had any underestimation of what vile people the Bidens are, look at how they throw him out there. Absolutely disgusting.
EFF Joe Biden, his handlers, and his supporters.
To hell with all of them.
We could solve this. Just establish a regulatory agency with rules to regualate, say, a standard candy bar and a standard bag of potato chips. Make the companies track and file monthly compliance reports, with huge fines for lying or fudging. Shirley that will fix the problem and we can buy the same old potato chips at the same old price.
Fixed.
Just to, you know, add facts to Biden’s little outburst, the price of cocoa has doubled this past year. Cocoa now sells on the commodity market for $5,599 per metric ton (as of today) passing the previous recorded high in 1977 of $5,379 per ton. So yeah, the price of chocolate bars have increased in part because of raw product costs.
no, the problem is inflation. When a company pays out more money for raw materials, and pays more in wages to keep their employees whole, they have to raise prices. Or go out of business. Which, based on your post, you think is Ok.
