I Have Been Weakened by Shrinkflation

I just had a packet of Tayto Beef & Onion crisps, 65g to a bag...

That's a lot of crisps for one serving I'm not gonna lie.

Pretty sure 50g crisp packets used to be fairly normal, but now even the most macho of the classic UK brands make it a bit of a pain to get anything over 30g. I've found packets of McCoy's at 47.5g but I don't see them in the wild often at all. In that context, a 65g bag is just a bit big.

When you're completely converted to 25g bags of crisps, 65g is instant pain.

I can feel my body temperature rising to compensate. The heartburn is imminent. I may not make it to sunrise. Regret is all I have come to know.

8/10 I prefer the texture of Tyrell's.
