Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (AT) “other appliances, articles and products for personal care” changed +1.6% (2022 average vs 2021). The size cut alone raises the price per gram by +25.0% 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

“…Im Rahmen dieser Umstellung habe sich Lornamead – nicht zuletzt aus Kostengründen – dazu entschieden, das Gewicht von 125 Gramm auf 100 Gramm anzupassen.”
