Products are getting smaller and smaller.

About the only candy I like are the Mounds bars. Each one used to be about 2" long. Now I can't find those anywhere. They sell "snack size" and "miniature", and those are barely over an inch in a bag that is mostly puffed up with air.

The sandwiches at Panera Bread are about 20% smaller than they were a year ago.
