New word: shrinkflation...
Shrinkflation describes manufacturers making small changes to products, usually in quantity or size so the selling price remains the same.An example would be a “Party Size” bag of corn chips used to be 18 ounces and now it's 15.5 ounces.
I noticed this with the bar soap I've been using for years. It was out of stock in a few stores for months and now the bars are smaller but the box is the same size.
Expect more of shrinkflation to come!

They did that with disposable diapers all the time when my children were babies.
