From 100g snacks to 81g snacks - "shrink" inflation

            When costs go up, but makers are shy about putting up their list prices, then the solution is to put less product into the container, so-called "shrink-flation" (inflation by holding constant price and decreasing volume) instead of inflation of prices for constant serving size. Without a bag of sweet, crunchy (kabuki-style) rice crackers from 2020 or earlier to compare, this photo of February 2023 is impossible to compare, but impressionistically it seems there is less in the bag than some years ago. Perhaps shrinkflation is spreading to the convenience store snacks in Japan, too.
