I don't think of an especially workable way, but an inflation-linked multi-year price-per-weight history for the product on the price label? I'm sure it would be instantly worked around because shrinkflators are already busily playing sneaky tricks. Probably they'd just slap "great new taste" on it every year and pretend it's a new product. Package sizes were regulated in the EU starting in the 70s, presumably for this reason, but they've been deregulated in the last decade (other than alcohol).

>Probably they'd just slap "great new taste" on it every year and pretend it's a new product. Walmart pretty much requires this anyway. Look around on how they caused the price of pickles down to almost nothing and put companies in bankruptcy, this had to be at least 20 years ago now so Google kinda sucks at finding information on it.
