Did Quaker Instant Oatmeal raisin, date & walnut shrink?

Source and evidence

Against official inflation: BLS CPI-U (US) “breakfast cereal” changed +16.6% (12 months to Sep 2022). The size cut alone raises the price per packet 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

“Quaker Instant Oatmeal Last year, Quaker reduced some flavors of their instant oatmeal packages. This year, some more flavors got the downsizing axe including 10 packet boxes of raisin, date and walnut oatmeal going to eight. *MOUSE PRINT: To see them side-by-side, they look identical.”
