Another example of "shrinkflation"..... I noticed the other day there has been a lot of food packaging getting smaller too. Just an example a box of Ritz crackers is not near as tall as it used to be . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tires with a given size rating not being that size could be grounds for false advertising lawsuits. It happened to Lowes a while back because all their lumber was listed at the common sizes and not the actual sizes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
