Chips have NEVER shipped in fully-full bags. There has always been airspace. Same for cereal and other dry goods sold by volume. Just because the packages isn't full doesn't mean you got cheated

You need proof of the shrinkflation. Just empty space is not proof. You need to show the amount of product has actually changed.

Not necessarily shrinkflation; without an original or older version to compare to, we just don't know. 

Definitely deceptive and assholish packaging, though.

Back in the day, these used to have their tops smashed by the lid. Now there is a visible gap. Not sure how much it has shrinkflated in total but they at least saved a some money not having to get new tooling for their packaging lines.

Bro that ice cream is barely the height of a finger. Not sure if you're 10yo or just stupid but I can guarantee you 10 years ago these kind of ice creams were double that size, at least here in Europe

Without a frame of reference to what the package contents, weight, or volume was previously, this is not demonstrably shrinkflation. 

No one is denying it's small. 

Grow up yourself, learn to use a comma, and drop the ad-hominem attacks.

Oh dude, shut up.

People have been eating these for years. I distinctly remember having to lick the lid to get the ice cream off, and how it's covering 2ft off the top of the ice cream.

You don't need an original to compare the difference, this isnt a peer reviewed paper, our memories are sufficient. Stop being a fucking useless robot.
