Something Stinks
Brand new/unopened stick of antiperspirant. Only 40%of the tube has product. This is typical for the brand.
I'd rather less plastics and more honesty, but I know that the boardroom fat-cats are incapable of responsible ideation.

Misleading Packaging
Cheese Balls Size Comparison
I love stuff like this. My family has saved cheese ball buckets for years, and finally, after cleaning out some stuff, I found some with significant expiration age gaps. We've been robbed. Take me back to 2010. It's absolutely ridiculous how they reduced the size and thought we wouldn't notice.
I’ve Been Annoyed About This For Weeks. 75% Air. My Hands Are Small, And I Could Hold All Of It In My Palm. What Do You Mean “Share Size”
This Veet Packaging Designed To Make You Waste Product (And Buy More)
I was using this hair removal cream earlier today, and it stopped dispensing. Tried the usual tricks to get some to pump out, no dice. But it felt too heavy to be actually empty. So, I tried taking the top off, thinking there'd be a little in the bottom I could scoop out and use.
Got it open; it turns out the tube to the pump only goes about halfway down, and the cream is actually in a bag inside. The bag was connected to the opening, so I cut it to get the bag free.
I Got The Last 12 Pack. Same Price
Misleading Packaging. Less Than Half Full. Of Minis, No Less
New vs. Old Swiss Cake Rolls
New Swiss Cake Rolls on the left and the old ones on the right... Banana for science.
I found some old Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls in a lunch bag I forgot about... Pre-covid. Surprisingly enough, after several years at room temperature, they look edible.
Twizzler Hiding How Much Shorter Their Product Is With Extra Packaging
Pop Tarts - Since Y'all Caught On About Frosting, Now They're Just Smaller
I thought a new one looked a bit small, so I compared it to a different box we've had for a while. The new ones are half an inch shorter than the old ones. At least the frosting is reasonable.

They’re Trying To Make It Look Like There’s A Lot More Nerf Darts Packaged
Big Container, Not Much In It
Bought this from Walmart. I don’t have a weigh scale, and it doesn’t really matter. I’m guessing this really is 1.3 kg, but the powder only filled the container to about 1/4. Absolutely unreal. This is one way to waste packaging. And extremely deceptive. I’ll be buying from Dollarama from now on, as you at least get a nearly full container.

These Cookies Always Had Three M&Ms On Every Cookie
I’ve been eating these since I was a kid, and each cookie always had three M&Ms, and now half of the package looks like this. They don’t even taste good anymore. Never buying these again.
Wyler’s Italian Ices, Last Year Versus This Year. Same Price
We've Officially Entered Dark Times
I think this just happened. Opened pkg of Thomas' English muffins and was shocked to see how they are now unusably small. Looks like they have trimmed 3/8" diameter off them, making the king of breakfast sandwiches undersized for even an egg. Anyone else notice?
Guess Which One Was Purchased A Year Ago
At This Point Why Not Save Even More Money And Make The Bags Smaller?
Opened it fresh and then immediately took the picture. UTZ sour cream and onion ripples 2.5oz bag. But the bag is 10inches or maybe a bit taller.
