A pint!, you always had oversized glasses and so always got a full pint, now you can lose 10% in some pubs with size of the head.I give you Kleenex.
100 tissues in a box a few years ago. Then they trimmed the size of the box, supposedly to help the environment. A little later they cut the contents to 80. Now there are 72 per box.
So, a 28% cut. Inflation is back up but things like this won’t be included or even noticed. It also explains why we keep running out.
Any others?

When you're a bairn wages mean nowt, I never got tubs I got a selection box .In the secondary school in the 70s the bus to school was 2p, I u walked you get a quarter of a quarter of midget gems ,hope that helpsOne for the oldies: how does the big old tins of sweets compare with wages?
I didn't get a lot of sweets as a bairn (cue violins!) so getting the massive tin of Roses at Christmas was a huge event. I was curious as a tin of sweets these days is less than an hours wage at minimum wage, so how did the bigger tin compare to the average salary in the 70's and 80's?

I think it will continue, all profiteering and the government will do absolutely nothing to prevent this.

If you enjoy paying more money for a lesser product then fair enough.
I dont
Very true!People are fat because they over-eat and are under-active compared to previous generations, not because of what they eat (or what the food contains.) Nobody gave a toss about sugar when we all had active jobs, and they lived longer than we do.
The invention of the desk job started it, the increase in portion sizes put the final nail in the coffin. It's unbelievable how much food is served for one person when you eat out, nobody needs that much food in one sitting.
