Comment on Mars Bar from the 1990s found during house clearance - shrinkflation in action

You “make no such assumptions” of whether both sizes were available in 1991, but you do assume that the user has no idea how businesses operate. You’re not speaking in reality at all, you’re just arguing nonsensically

  If people weren’t buying more of them, they wouldn’t’ve changed the size
  
  That’s what you said. If a business is already making sales and profit, why would they decrease the size? You think they were selling the candy at a loss or something, and had to slowly increase revenue?
  
  It’s the definition of “shrinkflation” and it’s anti-consumerism because they aren’t making it obvious that they’re increasing the cost of the product
  
  What kind of ignorant are you, that you can’t wrap your head around that? Go spout your elitist, anti-intellectualism elsewhere, cause ain’t nobody here buying it
  
  And if you truly believe in what you’re saying, good luck my dude, amd may god have mercy on your soul
