Shrinkflation. Every company does this. It’s a tried and true method as it’s mostly psychology. A person won’t realize the product is slightly smaller. They will realize if the price goes from $9.99 to $10.99.

Tuna is a great example. Take a look at old recipe books from before the 1980s, and you’ll see they assume a can of tuna is 6.5 ounces. You can’t buy that size anymore because they’re now 5 ounces.
