What the source says

“ם. על פי נתוני \"פרייסז\", בראשית העשור הקודם הכמות ירדה ל-72, אחר כך ל-64, והיום יש בה 56 מגבונים. יודעי דבר לחשו לי שגם גודל המגבונים ירד ב-2 ס\"מ. לא בדקנו. שקיות אשפה של ניקול עם שרוך, בגודל בינוני, הכילו ב-2016 60 יחידות באריזה, ירדו ל-50, והיום הן עומדות על 45. כשהירידה הדרגתית, הסיכוי שהצרכן יבחין בה קטן.”
