Oh nonsense!
It's not that the toilet paper is getting smaller...it's that Michelle butt is getting bigger!

I thought the OJ containers looked smaller!
And I knew I wasn't using THAT much more toilet paper!

I can tell you this... the first major toilet paper company that refuses to shrink and offers the consumer more for less in this down economy... will dominate that market for decades. Same goes for all products. When times are hard... we remember... and I have been through catah... I know!

It allows the government to say there is no inflation.
We have a government that lies.

I guess “One-Square Cheryl’s” plan is working to perfection.

The Time-Life idiots have it exactly backwards.
Sizes commonly shrink during inflation. Decreasing portions are merely another way of raising prices.
That is, of course, if we are actually having inflation. According to Helicopter Ben and TurboTax Tim, we are really undergoing deflation, and we need to print several trillion in order to stimulate the economy and create jobs and coincidentally fund the Rats' grand socialist experiments.
Therefore AWP is not really shrinking in size.

One of the most obvious objects of this type of BS are candy bars. When I was a kid, candy bars were huge, but over the years they became much smaller and the price didn’t stay the same. Today it is almost everything, ice cream half gallons are now 1.5 quarts, yet the price stays the same and the pundits claim there is no inflation because prices, on some items, have stayed static, failing to mention you are getting much less for the same price.

A 20 pound bag of charcoal went to 18 pounds a few years ago.
Now it’s 15 pounds...

For a lot of items take a look at the unit prices when you shop. Keep track of them on a weekly basis and you'll notice the change immediately.

According to Helicopter Ben and TurboTax Tim, we are really undergoing deflation, and we need to print several trillion in order to stimulate the economy and create jobs and coincidentally fund the Rats' grand socialist experiments.The CPI is such a sham. They count things like home purchase costs, new cars and electronics. Things people buy very infrequently, but leave out food and energy. This way they say no inflation and no cost of living increases for social security recipients. It's the same kind of game being played with unemployment. It works for maybe 6 months, but even the dullest RAT voter eventually catches on.

Thank goodness this shrinkage phenomena doesn't affect everything.
Just noting that today, FR posts are beefier, fatter, and longer. Replies are more numerous and substantial as well!

Around my house it doesn't matter how big the roll is, because this is how I am sure to find it everytime I go into the bathroom!

Have you noticed that the napkins you get today at many foods shops like pizzerias practically dissolve in your hands? They fall apart very easily. The quality of a lot of stuff today, due to environmentalism, is awful.
