Today I made a batch of strawberry jam. You need lots of sugar for homemade jellies and jams, and Linda bought two bags. She pointed out that the bags, which I assumed were five pound bags, were actually only four pounds. They look the same as the five pound bags, but it’s there on the bag–four pounds.
It really is dishonest. Of course it is legal, but it is wrong. It is pulling a fast one on the consumer. It is irritating. The word for it is “shrinkflation,” but it is simply another form of inflation, and it is not only happening to sugar.
I blame Trump.
