Source and evidence
Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (AT) “household cleaning and maintenance products” changed +1.5% (12 months to Oct 2024). The size cut alone raises the price per gram 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
“Star 10x Effekt WC-Kraft-Tabs In der Verpackung der WC-Kraft-Tabs von Blue Star sind zwar nach wie vor zehn Tabs enthalten, jedoch sind diese kleiner geworden. Früher war das Nettogewicht 250 g, seit Ende Mai sind es nur noch 225 g. Im Onlineshop eines Drogeriemarktes ist der Preis gleich geblieben. Was sagt Henkel dazu?”
