    Oh yes, in recent months I have noticed that the usual 10 rolls I buy, don't last all week any more as they used to. I even asked my partner one day whether he was using the toilet paper for some special project that I wasn't aware of. But it appears that the rolls have been gradually shrinking. So now we buy a different brand of recycled toilet paper that seems to last longer.

    Why yes I have noticed this. Even my Pringles have shrunk in size, along with a bunch of other products. I don't know what can be done about this aside from just shopping at bulk stores. Can we do anything about this problem?

    I have never noticed the size reduction, but I'm not surprised by that at all, since every product seems to shrink as time goes by and the value of money is diminishing. I will keep your post in mind and try to observe the change when I go to the bathroom later.

    I haven't noticed that lol. They get softer, so they are getting better if you ask me. I like things small, in my opinion it's a good thing.

    No, I never. And I don't think that they are though I didn't measure. What I think is that they are kept the same with the price increasing. Maybe when you change the brand or when you go for the cheaper ones that's the time you see the change because there's a reasonable change.

    It's not something very noticeable, but it's smaller indeed 003 and it's the same brand. They do change everything to maximize their profit, the composition of the paper, the size, all. and the price increases as well. It's not a big deal of course, it's just toilet paper, but it's something I noticed and that reflects how products these days are.
