Old El Paso taco shells are now 20% smaller. This isn't shrinkflation. We're being trolled at this point.

I don't mind mini-tacos if that's what they're marketed as as that's what I'm making. These are not. You literally can't put normal toppings in these. They're tiny.

I buy Mission flour tortillas because they are much softer. Definitely never buying Old El Paso hard shells again. Will probably go back to frying my corn torts from scratch like an authentic Mexican savage. This shit pissed me off.

Even cheetos have less powdered cheese. How much do they save with the powder cheese?

It's not being done to save money, not on things like cheetos and corn shells. It's being done to prepare the population (and food producers) for rationing, possibly because of war or for some population culling event. Agenda 2030 is still on.

>why can't they just up the price slightly and smash the shrinkflation competition
"Never let a crisis go to waste". They're not trying to simply address problems. They are creating problems to justify imposing specific solutions. Funny how nearly everything over the past 5-7 years (save for the election of one Orange man) is working for the benefit of one specific party and class of people.

>>19568834
I think candy / soda / chips and other "junk food" are in on the food rationing psyop but they're also fucked because Dems are going to do to them what was done to cigarette companies. They see no difference. It's not going to stop at $5 2L and $20 cases. They'll eventually ban marketing and remove from regular shelves in western countries just like ciggies.

Meds are expensive, but have been forever in the US. We're basically subsidizing developing life-changing medications for the worldpoors. It's not the same thing as food costs rising. This is being specifically done to create a lever to control population by their stomachs whereas in the past it was the market competing with each other. Now they're all in on it with government.

I think you should take some of said meds anon. Because what you're saying makes no sense. Historically speaking, rationing and increased governmental powers due to war and crises have never required a preparation or population training period, and that is still completely unnecessary. You're just a schizo who can easily see a likely future someday event, and then use that to justify all your delusions and gratify all your fantasies.

I was frying mine for awhile. Chips are easy but doing them as shells was tricky because I could never get the chewiness under control. I'm definitely not buying these tiny fucking taco shells no more. I like chonky ingredients and it's literally impossible to use these shrunk ass shells that way.

Gorilla monkeys. Its to "tackle" the inflation rate. Lower inflation means dems can print money ezz and make JPOW stop the rate hikes. More lent money at a lower rate circulating the market so spenders can consooom.
