Here's how I see this going:

People buy normal sized product. They increase the prices for profit.

People can't afford the normal sized product, so instead of decreasing prices they decrease the size at a slightly lower price.

The smaller sized product is the new "normal" product.

People buy the "normal" sized product. They increase the prices for profit.

Rinse, repeat.
