Source and evidence
Against official inflation: Eurostat HICP (AT) “household cleaning and maintenance products” changed +1.5% (12 months to Oct 2024). The size cut alone raises the price per unit by +9.1% 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
“…Bis jetzt. Auch ich musste feststellen, dass Somat Tabs weniger werden, und das in recht kurzer Zeit. Früher waren in der XXL-Packung (classic) 72 Stück drinnen, dann hat es sich reduziert auf 70, und aktuell sind es nur mehr 66 Stück. Ich finde das so ärgerlich. Da verdient sich Henkel ein schönes Geld damit", mailte uns eine Konsumentin.”
