Dunkin’s “Shrinkflation Gate” shows price elasticity has its limits

On anonymous Facebook groups and Reddit forums, furious customers accused the chain of trying to deceive customers by cutting corners. The news reveals that consumers’ tolerance for shrinkflation is waning. In a market where 79% of consumers are trading down, trends like these can erode consumer trust and loyalty. A recent study by McKinsey found price pressure is global consumers’ no.1 concern.

What do you mean you don't obsessively count the number of chocolates in a tub of Celebrations every year and put the results into an Excel spreadsheet!?

Anyway, the 2025 results are in:
Bounty x5
Galaxy x5
Galaxy Caramel x5
Maltesers x5
Mars x9
Milky Way x9
Snickers x9
Twix x7

The tub itself has gone down another 50g since 2024 (100g since 2023!)

Hard to believe that I used to give this content to Zuckerberg for free, you're welcome Fediverse!
