I got down from the bird and jumped onto the mastodon. Went from #science to software development, mostly #webdev.

Pepsi replaced its 32oz Gatorade bottle with a 28oz for the same price.

Nabisco shrank the family size box of Wheat Thins by 12%.

General Mills shrank the family size box of Cocoa Puffs by 6%.

Frito-Lay shrank the size of a bag of Doritos by 5%.

Shrinkflation is everywhere.

Packaging should have standard sizes, e.g. 500g, 1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 8kg, 6 units, 12 units, 24 units...

Sizes of 230g, 450g, 1.3kg are a dark pattern that makes nearly impossible for consumers to know what they are really buying and how much they are paying for it. A really honest company would never do that kind of nonsense.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Another interesting stat would be the corporations that have paid their CEOs more than all the rest of their workforce combined.
