The Great Shrinkflation Swindle: Why Your Chips Are Mostly Air

Deep Dives in the Shallow End

In this episode of Deep Dives in the Shallow End, we take a hilariously bleak look at "shrinkflation"—the sneaky corporate tactic of giving you less product for the same price. From bite-sized Snickers to vanishing toilet paper sheets, we explore how capitalism’s favorite magic trick is shrinking your snacks, your soap, and your sanity. We unpack the history, the absurd excuses, and the everyday frustrations of living in a world where even your chocolate bunnies are on a diet. Tune in for laughs, rage, and a little hope that we can fight back—one tiny Toblerone at a time.
