I’ve noticed that every product I’ve bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It’s pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc…

    shrinkflation

    nah it’s just corporate greed. Calling this ‘shrinkflation’ gives these greedy price gougers some form of excuse by linking it to inflation even though they’re doing this to us simply because they can.
