2. wouldn't be surprised if there is less product in the box as well

Shrinkflation, repackaging, etc.

3. No product is fine

This Trump's tariffs
Why would you suspect anything g else?

4. price could go up and less product be in the box as well

e.g. Toilet paper rolls with fewer sheets of paper. Chip bags with fewer chips. Ice cream cartons that are the same shape but fewer ounces. You get the idea.

Price is just one variable. Packaging is another. Ingredients are a third. Quality control is a fourth...

5. Are you serious

That a company g would retool to put less product Ina tea bag ? That is insane.
