everything is being min-maxed, have you noticed how flimsy and soft cereal boxes have become, and plastic-packaged goods having thinner plastic, and often replaceable lids have been replaced with single-use film (thinking specifically of hummus for this one).

Taking the time to count the ways shrinkflation is (fractionally) eroding quality of life would take an age.
