The Lock In: The Shrinkflation Struggle

Welcome back to G&T: Sips and Giggles - The Lock-In, a bonus episode where we rant about life's modern annoyances.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of shrinkflation—when products get smaller but prices stay the same. From chocolate bars to toilet rolls, we explore real-life examples and discuss whether this practice is a smart business move or a deceitful consumer con. Join us as we debate the ethics behind shrinkflation and ponder the need for consumer protests.

Don't miss our insights on how companies maintain packaging and brand trust while subtly giving us less for more. Tune in, sip along, and let's giggle through the nonsense together!
