We need laws to require special labelling with the price per net pound or price per net kiloggram clearly shown, and the previous price. Something like: $2.99/Kg (since 18/09/2023) $2.79/Kg (previous price)
They would probably change the SKU so the comparison is harder.
Yeah but what’s the alternative? Things are expensive, you’ve got to eat. I have to purchase things even if it’s affected by shrinkflation.
There are lots of alternatives to PepsiCo, Unilever, and Nestle.

> Guigoz infant formula produced by Nestlé went from 900 grams (31.75 oz) to 830 grams, while Unilever’s Viennetta ice-cream cake shrank to 320 grams from 350 grams. Wish I could be surprised at Nestle doing the most evil thing possible, but here we are.

E.g, they went from Big to Small and then Small to Big.
I think we should place a QR on every product label, and scanning that QR takes me to data about the product such as its historical mass/volume, cost, and unit price, as well as its brand owner right on up the chain. I see you, Nestle. Of course, giving customers information to make an informed decision is Bad For Business.
Coming up with unique identifiers for every single specific recognizable product would be an incredible feat, that would have huge impacts beyond this. Now I'd totally expect a brand to just renew identifiers at random and break any tracking that doesn't help them.

To combat this, manufacturers can just rename the product.

Mostly bad for business because of the massive data and engineering effort required.
But I don't.
Liars deserve to suffer.
