No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you at the grocery store–that box of cereal really is shrinking.
It’s a phenomenon Edgar Dworsky, the consumer watchdog behind sites like ConsumerWorld.org and Mouseprint.org, calls “Downsizing”–products that are shrinking in size and not in asking price–and has been tracking since the early 1990s.

    1. LOL!! Now things are much more dIfferent from decades ago when size meant abundance for a growing family. In short, the scaling down if products are now a match for the scaled-down families. Thank you for visiting and commenting Blueribbonfair.

  3. Fascinating article!

    I’ve noticed this trend myself. Interestingly, I’ve read that food portions are now being reduced so that it’ll improve one’s health. :)

    1. Store shelf spacing is not a good reason to diminish the size of a product. I wish corporations would consider the families.
