Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “candy and chewing gum” changed +9.8% (12 months to Sep 2025). The size cut alone raises the price per unit by +20.0% 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
“…Squares Your dentist may be happy, but consumers probably won’t welcome getting two fewer chocolate squares in every bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate mint. Now there are only 10 in a bag.”
