    Honestly, while there are a number of areas where I’m kind of irritated about shrinkflation, restaurant portions in the US are very large and have gotten much larger over the years. I’m not entirely sold that it’d be all that harmful for them to be smaller; they were considerably smaller for a long time.

      Portion sizes have definitely gotten insane but raising prices while giving less product is not ok and they can fuck off. I won’t even go into having to order from a kiosk or needing a tracking app to even try to get any kind of deal.

          I mean… they can be good thing on occassion. my go to for dehydration (if I’m traveling) is a large fries and a large ice water. Nutrients, salt, fluids. Hard to beat IMO.

    Weigh it before you complain I guess. Paper like this is better. And if it holds the same weight, all good.

        I mean typically it’s based off of weight not volume.
