  • So much effort?

    Isn’t it the second most mass produced book in the world?

    After a certain point, the automation makes making more of them effortless.

    Also, it’s an attention economy. If you want me to read your self-help/alt-history book, you need to give me an actual reason.

  • Honestly I’d prefer to have a standardised size, but they’re the only eggs at our supermarket that have the maximum ethical standard rating on them.

    The medium eggs I buy when these ones have a “shrink week” have a lower rating.

    I suspect it’s more to do with supply line issues though, due to correlation with various events in the news.

  • At the moment where i am there’s some shrinkflation nonsense where sometimes they’ll lower the “average total” weight on the “mixed” size eggs but change nothing on the packaging (apart from the weight, on the bottom).

    So I’m checking to see if I’ve got a pack of tiny eggs that just rattle around in the packaging.

    But i do a rattle check first.

    If I’ve got the tiny eggs i just buy a different brand instead (until they change it back)
