大家最近有没有觉得买的东西越来越“轻”了？尤其是家里的卫生纸、早餐麦片啥的，包装没变，但量却少了！🤯 这就是传说中的“Shrinkflation（缩水通胀）”，虽然表面上价格没涨，但你买到的实际数量已经悄悄缩水了。
LendingTree的研究揭示了真相：自疫情以来，研究追踪的近100种商品中有三分之一都在缩水，特别是卫生纸和厨房纸这类家庭纸制品，60%的产品都减量了！比如Angel Soft卫生纸的超大卷装，从每卷429张减少到320张，直接缩水25.4%！而有的商品不仅缩水还涨价！Charmin Ultra Strong的24个超大卷纸，数量从286张缩到了242张，价格却从$23.82涨到$26.48，每100张卫生纸的价格飙升了31.4%！
不止卫生纸，早餐麦片也是重灾区。像大家熟悉的Frosted Flakes家庭装，从24盎司减少到21.7盎司，虽然只缩了9.6%，但每盎司的价格上涨了40%！零食和糖果也没幸免，22种零食中有6种悄悄缩小了份量，糖果中有5种也变“迷你”了。
71%的美国人在过去一年中至少发现一次产品缩水，尤其是婴儿潮一代（60~78岁）对缩水通胀特别敏感（70%），而Z世代（18~27岁）虽然对缩水通胀没那么留意，却是最“刚”的一代，有80%表示发现缩水通胀后直接抵制品牌，不再买！这就是年轻人的消费态度啊！💪
更有意思的是，许多人宁愿接受涨价，也不想看到产品“悄悄缩水”。89%的美国人在购物时会比较产品的尺寸和数量，而且有38%的人更希望商家直接提高价格，别玩这些“偷工减料”的把戏！
