596. SHRINKFLATION NATION...

About this episode

The episode features a rant about shrinkflation and its impact on food products, along with nostalgic discussions and humorous anecdotes.

Hey, Knucklehead’s — this episode is a no-holds-barred rant about shrinkflation: from cereal boxes and McDonald’s fries to tiny king-size candy bars and jacked-up "protein" snacks. We also hit national food days, donut truck nostalgia, and a ridiculous Cheesecake Factory scale stunt that you’ve gotta hear about. Grab a snack (careful, it might be smaller than you remember), sit with us like old friends, and laugh/cry along while we figure out who’s really getting scammed — you or the corporations. MERCH!
