What about staple items? That's where it really matters, there is a large population of us who don't consume that shit but have found that it's a struggle to buy the things we live on and it goes beyond food.

Has anyone noticed that there is an extra 1+ inches less width to you toilet paper rolls? A lot of space on the spindle and, of course, since it's "squares" they decreased the length of each "square" meaning the decrease in the overall size of the "square" is about 30%. And the paper quality is declining too. Same with paper towels.

This shit is getting old.
