Speaking of, looks like even former presidents can't escape shrinkflation; 6' 3" DJT next to 6'2" Logan Paul.

oh, yeah I remembered the post! I just pulled the old roll out of the trash and it is 4-1/2". The new one is 4". The cardboard roll was the same size though. Both were from Costco (probably). There is a lot of advertising going on about the wavy perforations. Distract you with that and you might not notice the smaller size.

I'm going to beat this dead horse one last time! The picture I posted must have been an HEB roll. This picture is from Costco the other day. Northern is the one on top at 4.5"x4.2. The Scott is much smaller at 4.1x3.7.

And I'll beat it again two years later! Stopped at Whataburger today and a double whataburger had two slices of cheese billed at .65 each. Maybe not shrinkflation but certainly a slice of cheese is not worth 65 cents1

...and probably no longer real dairy-based cheese but processed (whipped up oil and water).

Imagine the price if they used actual real cheese!

So, I just checked prices for replacement windshield wipers.
$37.99 PER blade, not per set.
I think the last blades i bought were $12 each.

Geez are they at least that new square model I keep seeing advertised that is said to last a lot longer?

Nope, just a standard wiper priced at my local Autozone.

Maybe they added A.I. to them?
