    It’s known as shrinkflation. Companies want to make more money. Simply asking the customer for more money is hard because we’re all well aware of the price we’ve been paying for something, plus they have to sit on a shelf next to a competitor who might not have raised their price. So instead most products will reduce what you get instead.
