  This should be a proxy measure for inflation. (If only it was quantifiable so easily…) Instead of prices going up in this case, quality goes down.

    There used to be an awesome blog site called consumerist that had a "Shrink Ray" section where they would try to track all the consumer products that were secretly degraded in some way. The blog shut down a while ago. Guess big industry got to them. [1]:https://consumerist.com/tag/shrink-ray/index.html https://consumerist.com/tag/shrink-ray/index.html
