Producers Downsizing Products While Keeping the Price the Same
CBS reports on a disturbing product trend. The producers of many products have reduced the size of their products while keeping the price the same. In other words, consumers are getting less product for the same price. Some of the brands shown to be downsizing products in the video below include Hellman's, Breyers and Kellogg's. The producers blame the downsizing on the economy. A few articles about the downsizing trend can be found at Consumer Reports, NBC and the Chicago Tribune. The Consumerist blog also has an informative section called the Grocery Shrink Ray.
