Shrinking the prices to right…right? /s
The meal the article starts with is $8, so yes they are shrinking the prices too. That’s a big point in the article, that people who aren’t eating entire meals will not want to keep paying full price for meals they mostly throw away
Last time I found something on the adult menu for that low of a price it was the side salad.
Read the article
Too*
This is the kind of article that I always find fascinatingly American in nature. Not just in it’s content about obesity and meal size, but in how insanely blind it is to the literal entire rest of the world.
It’s all written like smaller meal sizes are this crazy new thing when literally every tourist to the US is constantly talking about how insanely massive the portion sizes are everywhere.
It’s also a fascinating bit of advertising wrapped up in revisionist marketing bullshit and that’s as American as Granny’s Apple Pie* ™ *not actually apple pie
Actually weird that it has taken so long. As a smaller person I was unable to finish any plate when I visited the states and wished there was an option for me to order a “child’s” portion. This also makes it easier for people to lose weight while not on glp1.
More like Shrinkflation is infuriating, not interesting.
I unknowingly bought a pack of 7 hotdogs the other day. Straight up thought I lost a hot dog.
As long as the prices go down too, I’m ok with smaller meals.
I can’t remember the last time I finished a meal at a restaurant, I always eat half and then take the rest to go. Most things reheat pretty well, even fries taste good when reheated in a toaster oven.
Lower prices? Lol not happening.
Real question, is quality going up?
I sincerely can’t care anymore about endless portions of trash that taste like slop or BBQ but crave the original flavors that are bold and well prepared, wouldn’t even flinch to pay the same for these rather than a pound of fries and something I cannot finish and will become unedable after an overnight in the refrigerator.
OH OH OHHHH OZEMPIC!
Sorry, still got that stuck in my head
Auto parts!
Advanced Auto Parts?
The hell is that fry cup? Do places really serve them pre-ketchup’d?
Mmmm just how I like 'em. Soggy and oversauced.
