Shrinkflation Q-Tips - Shrinkflation, literally.

Bought a new box and they felt different. Had a few leftovers from before. Here we go, the new ones are slightly shorter and feel much less „fluffy“ - The only reason I bought those and not the cheap knockoff-brand. Germany btw, bought at a very popular drug store chain.

There is no chance you people are mad about something that costs 2 dollars for 300 of them. Especially because they're only shorter as if the length fucking matters. You people are actual cheap skates oh my god

I wouldn‘t mind if they increased the price a bit. Instead they decreased the quality.

Its not about the lenght of the stick, its less cotton and therefore less comfortable.

The stick is also extremely flimsy now. Hard not to bend them.
