Food company Frito-Lay has cut down the number of chips in each bag of Doritos as record inflation has raised production expenses.
A bag of Doritos has five fewer chips than it used to, the company told Quartz. "Inflation is hitting everyone. … We took just a little bit out of the bag so we can give you the same price and you can keep enjoying your chips," a Frito-Lay representative said.
Other ubiquitous consumer products have fallen victim to "shrinkflation," Quartz reported. Bounty has cut three sheets from each roll of paper towels, and a box of Wheat Thins now has 28 fewer crackers.
Under the Biden administration, inflation has skyrocketed. Inflation reached a 40-year high last month, even before Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused energy prices to surge. The cost of food accounts for much of the inflation, with grocery prices up 8.6 percent from last year.

With all due respect, you bought the wrong product. I just had some original Doritos last night and tasted the same since my childhood.
“chips not included”
Stoners everywhere deeply saddened.
We have a couple of locally made tortilla chip brands that are better than the “tos”!
That’s been going on for a long time. Dish soap now only goes to an inch away from the top.
Bidenflation fits.
Sorry, but all carbs have nutritional value, although they do directly target your hips and belly first with their high glycemic index. :) The problem with chips like Doritos is the salt and other preservatives included.
Dude, where's the guacamole? You've ran out of marguerite mix, also? I'm going home.
Better than some Tequilas where you can't get to the worm or the last glistening drop!
However, this will do wonders for our waistlines. Portions should be smaller.
Waiting to be blasted by fireballs and hail from the Freepers. :)
Believe it or not...we live 15 minutes from a Frito plant/warehouse. There’s also a Lance factory 10 minutes away. I can occasionally smell them cooking stuff...just pervades the air. Not at all unpleasant (like the gag-inducing smell from the Bowater paper mill across the SC line).
Unfortunately, I don’t know a soul at either one.
Of course, things like "administrative expenses" and "marketing expenses" and others on P&L's can be padded, until the IRS audits. Owning 3 small companies, I always kept every receipt for expenses. Also, it helps to have a good tax accountant.
I've wondered about that for years.
Didn’t mean to insult. Probably should have sent to all. Clearly you understand the concepts. Not sure others do.
Fewer Triscuits means fewer calories when I eat the whole box at once.
Sorry, can’t see your graphic. Using Foxfire browser if that’s the problem.
Dean’s 1/2 & 1/2 went from $1.59 to $1.99 in ONE week. Plus the “Pint” carton is now 14 ounces.
Thanks Brandon
look at the typical toilet tissue roll, or a can of tuna. Ever shrinking. I am sure there are many more too.
Haha. My ex-wife use to work at a Lays potato chip factory. She would come later than me with that smell on her and I didn’t get laid for 2 years. I won’t eat Lays chips to this day. :) Lying...Ruffles have Ridges and a good sauce dipper.
Toilet paper has increased....the diameter of the cardboard roll.
