Canned crap is emergency food for me. When the time comes to eat this stuff if will be time to remember to save that last cartridge for ending my misery.
You can afford to eat well but eating crap is easy. |

View Quote I got a box of Premium saltines a while back that were all like 2 inches shorter than they used to be. I thought it was shrinkflation, but the weight on the outside of the box hadn't changed, and the next box I bought was back to regular size, so I'm going with "bad can" if the weight didn't change on the packaging. |

Quoted: can of vienna sausages. used to be almost impossible to get the first sausage out since they were so closely packed together. each tender formed meat tube would be squished into the other so tight that they would lose their extruded round shape. now? look at all the room. perfectly round, plenty of room for the random animal protein cylinders to not touch. I'm so disgusted that I almost didn't drink the juice out of it https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/271151/v2_jpg-3107285.JPG stock photo from the good ole days https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/271151/v1_jpg-3107286.JPG View Quote We're the weiners cold? If they were cold it's just shrinkage. If not, they have little weiner energy or hotdog in a hallway syndrome. |

Quoted: I am making some On-Cor BBQ pork patties, yeah i know they are horrible - but that is whats on the menu for lunch. They use to advertise a 2 LB FAMILY pack, well now they are 1lb 10oz and 80% of that is GRAVY. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/a2/f9/c0a2f989492f59a8e71232fdb54b0b2d.jpg View Quote We used to eat those often back when they were $1 and full size. A little rice and the one's of those with gravy and you had a good meal cheap. |

Quoted: Armour can from 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20201001184011im_/https://www.armour-star.com/sites/g/files/qyyrlu641/files/images/product-category/Vienna-Sauage-Original---9.25oz_0.png Current 2024: https://www.armour-star.com/sites/g/files/qyyrlu641/files/images/products/vienna-sausage-original-79646.png It appears that the can weight hasn't changed in 5 years, but like somebody already said, maybe they've increased the water. View Quote It is. The sausages are smaller but they are still full to the top with water. |

I opened a can last week that had the usual 7 weiners in it, but they were all lined around the circumference of the can, none in the center.

That's some serious shrinkage.
I also can't believe people eat them . Tried them once and they are disgusting . Generic crocery store hotdogs eaten cold are better. |

View Quote bro... dip in a hot mustard... any restaurant doing poorly could put these on the menu and turn their business around almost instantly. serve em just like that. right in the fucking can |

was looking at photos of older cans and was still seeing 4.6 oz net weight so was hard to figure out how they shrank it and kept the weight the same. figured they added more broth .
today I decided to look at nutritional facts. seeing cans with 190 and 170 calorie values while the cans I have in possession are 160 calories. Attached File thats around a 15% shrinkage in the same size can with the same weight. |

I noticed the smaller Vienna's back during the scamdemic. I used to get them at work. I guess if there are any normal size out there, they are old.
With tuna fish, they went to smaller cans and a price increase. I'd rather they went up on price. The thing I don't understand about shrinkflation, is how they get chickens to lay smaller eggs. That's some next level stuff. |

Quoted: The thing I don't understand about shrinkflation, is how they get chickens to lay smaller eggs. That's some next level stuff. View Quote I would guess that they always laid eggs of all sizes but that the smaller eggs were shunted off to food services at a discount while the larger eggs were sold at a premium in retail. now, they are pushing smaller eggs in retail at higher retail prices, and not the discounted food services prices. |

Quoted: Back in the 90's there was a kind of general store/gas station outside of Durbin WV that had the largest selection of Vienna sausages I've ever seen. I guess there were a lot of different flavored/sauced ones back then. There were literally hundreds of cans lining the shelf. And that's before you got to the potted meat and Spam aisle. I think they were a staple food around that area because no matter where you were, there was always an empty can laying on the ground nearby. View Quote good target for 22s. I pick them up and throw away afterwards |
