Always look at the bright side. Your chips were not crammed into a crowded container. Brownie63 Jul 2024 #2

Shrinkflation.

Don't reduce the size of the can. Just load it up 3/4. That's pretty deceptive.

I don't like to be tricked.

I mean, it's been years since I bought Pringles, and I remember the stack filling up the can.

I'm retired with a lot of time on my hands, so I should have gone back to the store and complained... not that it's a big deal, but that I could use a little grumpy old man grouch time fun.

I have it on good authority that Dawn & the premium Palmolive products have active ingredients that are the same as they were before I retired. And, that was 6 years ago
I can't vouch for other major label or private label formulas, though.

Buy the off-brands. At least they are still slightly trying to earn your business and their cans are usually more full. I feel the chips are better as well. At least that has been my experience with the 'Pringles Dilemma'.
