Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “nonprescription drugs” changed +0.8% (12 months to Dec 2021, a broad match for this category). The size cut alone raises the price per unit by +11.1% if the shelf price stayed the same (the source recorded no prices). Every case is compared the same way in the ShrinkRadar Index.
What the source says
“…is virtually invisible. *MOUSE PRINT: Aleve Finally, if all these shrinking products give you a headache, don’t turn to the 100-caplet size bottles of Aleve. They now only have 90 pills.”
More from the US: the US Shrinkflation Tracker has all 296 documented cases, sortable and filterable.
