Source and evidence
Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “snacks” changed −2.3% (12 months to Aug 2024). The size cut alone raises the price per ounce by +8.7% 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
“…G., for spotting this. *MOUSE PRINT: Lesser Evil Popcorn Andie S. told us about Lesser Evil popcorn which has been reduced in size by almost 10 percent. The five-ounce bag is now 4.6 ounces. Popcorn kernels are so cheap, it is hard to imagine why any company has to skimp on them.”
