00:00I think about shrinkflation so in supermarkets basically they're making

00:03things smaller but still the same price. It's happening way more than people

00:07realize. They'll tell you it's good for your health but it's also good for their

00:13back balances. I think it's sad but like people might not notice it so they might get away with it.

00:19It happens in restaurants as well it's just kind of how people can stay afloat

00:22with business so it's, I don't know, someone's gonna lose somewhere.

00:28What do you think about the supermarkets doing shrinkflation so basically they're

00:33selling the same thing but there's less product inside it?

00:37Well they always said they were never going to do that didn't they?

00:39When the wagon wheels used to be that big and then now they're that big.

00:42If they're charging cheaper for it then fair enough but they're not other so come to a butcher,

00:50take what you get. That's it.

00:52What do you think about shrinkflation so basically it's where supermarkets are keeping the same

00:57price but making the things smaller? I think they should get the chocolate bigger and keep

01:03the prices smaller so then you're getting the same amount. For less money. Yes.
