Just opened vitamines, it’s only filled about a fifth. No reason to do so, but it does take up a lot more space. That means: more boxes for storage, more trucks for transport and of course more plastic used. Just… why?

    I bought the bottle of 360 pills at Walmart a couple years ago. Finally ran out and got more. Same brand. Same price.

    Suddenly there’s only 200 pills in the bottle AND it’s in a larger bottle now? wtf?

          That’s even weirder - I know it’s all marketing, but how do they not take into account that there are people that can compare them?

            The average person wouldn’t demonstrably care. Same thing with shrinkflation. Also, depending on where you live, the average IQ and general knowledge thresholds people meet are lower than you think. We’re all living with the consequences of Gen X and older millennials that were brought up with lead gasoline and poor schooling.
