But Duke’s acknowledged on their website that last September that jar was now 30 ounces. It refused to downsize and trumpeted that fact on their label noting that it was still 32 ounces. And almost everyone else followed suit sooner or later. Historically, mayonnaise came in quart-size jars, but in 2006, Hellmann’s introduced the 30-ounce size to replace that. Sure enough, most of their varieties are now only eight ounces. reported to us that in late summer he noticed various varieties of Green Giant frozen vegetables had downsized from 10 ounces to only eight, yet they still claimed two (skimpy) servings. Since the New York Times story about shrinkflation, we have gotten many more tips than usual about products downsizing. We asked P&G, the maker of Crest, to comment on these complaints, but they did not.įeel free to chime in with your toothpaste gripes in the comments. It made the soft bristles on my toothbrush stiff! I’ll add my own complaint about a sample of Crest Gum Detoxify that I got from my dentist. When half used, you will notice air pocket in center of tube. Apparently the top third was filled with air. It took many squeezes to get the toothpaste to the opening. The photo attached is of a Crest Toothpaste tube after one squeeze which released about a pea sized amount of paste. Here are additional “more air in tubes, less paste” complaints. I called P&G to notify them of this rip-off but all they wanted to do was send me a coupon. This is only 86.5 % of what is advertised on the tube. I discovered that the contents only weighed 4.5 oz. The next tube I did an experiment by weighing the full tube and then subtracting the weight of an empty tube. When I used the first tube it felt like there was a lot of air in it.
I purchased a package of 5 tubes from Costco. also had a complaint about the new smaller Crest tubes from Costco. We had purchased a multi-pack of Crest brand toothpaste at Costco, probably over a year ago. –Danilo D.Īnd of course, there are examples of shrinkflation. Now it seems like it’s barely a paste… –RalphĬREST toothpaste pro-health 4.6 oz doesn’t say PASTE anymore and its consistency is more liquid and diluted than before. My recollection is having to use some effort squeezing the paste out of the tube. I believe that toothpaste has been diluted from how I remember it to be.
The first complaints are about the consistency getting thinner. Over the past several months, we have received more complaints about toothpaste than any other product category.
