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...
