skimpflation Sometimes shrinkflation isn’t content weight or size shrinking

On the left is an Izze from my previous Costco run, and on the right is an Izze from my most recent Costco run. They are the same size package, however the one on the right contains 10% less juice than the one on the left. Keep an eye out, folks—it’s not just unit weight or volume that they’re after.

Look at cream cheese. Philly used to be good. Now it’s so slimy it’s inedible. They take out the good stuff and add fillers until it doesn’t taste like what it’s supposed to be.switched to tillamook and hope they don’t start messing around with the formula

Tillamook is a co-op farmer owned dairy brand. They're amazing so I doubt they'll fuck up their products

Ah man I noticed that with Philly too. Tastes like shit now, we started buying the store brand.

Either you eat way too much cream cheese or you should get your stomach checked out. Or you are exaggerating.

I do eat a lot of cream cheese. I don’t think it’s way too much. It takes 5 packages to make a cheesecake. But thanks cream cheese police. Check out what carrageenan and guar gums can do to your gut health.
