TikToker Accuses Tropicana Of Shrinkflation

Tropicana is the most recent food provider to be accused of Shrinkflation, or offering less product at the same price. TikToker @rawr_its_paige says that a new Tropicana apple juice bottle contains one ounce less juice than the previous bottle. She claims the old bottle contained 12 ounces, while the new, redesigned bottle is only 11 ounces. However, the price hasn’t changed. “You also owe me 17 cents or one ounce of apple juice,” she demands in her video. “I need all 12 ounces of apple juice. Don’t charge me $1.99 for 12 ounces and also $1.99 for 11 ounces. That’s not how things work.” Commenters aired their own grievances. “So much stuff I buy is shrinking & some of it is shrinking AND getting more expensive,” one wrote.
