Rename them to maimbots.

You have to watch out for those anklebitters!!

(O _ O)

The carton’s the wrong shape or I’d guess he was talking about Häagen-Dazs which went from 16 to 14 ounces years ago while keeping the price the same. Other brands, like Talenti and Ben and Jerry’s, are still sold in pint containers.

Now he’s just a Killjoy.

A standard pail of Ice cream used to be 5 quarts. Now it is 4 quarts.

Soft margarine has gone from 16 ounces to 15 ounces.

We’re gonna need…no, we won’t after all.

Good news is if you grow your own food, then you make your own proportions as you see fit!

It’s always seemed to me that the really scary things in this world are small, not big. Viruses come to mind. So, if anything, this killbot isn’t small enough.

Shrinkage: the struggle is real.

(Just ask any man getting out of a swimming pool.)

“Oww, my oil pan!” ~ The new killbots

Tuna cans are smaller. Soup cans are smaller. Oreos have half the filling they used to have, and Double Stuff only have the same amount of filling that ordinary Oreos used to have. I could go on.

I remember getting ice cream in half gallon (2 quart) containers. Now its sold in 1.75 and 1.5 quarts.

Reminds me of the DS9 episode when a shuttle craft was shrunk down to the size of a modern drone.

I remember a horror movie (I believe part of a trilogy starring Karen Black) with doll size voodoo dolls menacing terror & yeah, they were small but still pretty scary.

The Killbots may not seem as menacing, but they are still big enough to reach Winky’s spleen.

Pam’s balloon has no tail.

I was in a dollar store (with someone else, not my idea) when I spotted some Chunky soups that I often get and the price wasn’t bad. When I got them home, I found that the cans were smaller than the ones I usually get – and the price was actually more than I pay at Target for full-size cans. Apparently dollar stores have special ways to make you pay more than you would at other stores.

No spleens were hurt in the making of this comic.

Luncheon meat packages got smaller and now are almost 1/4 weight water. Disgusting. I’ve written to producers to complain and almost none have replied. One sent some coupons for free product, but the product was the same junk.

Now, if it were redesigned in the “Black Mirror” style…

That used to be the 5 Gallon box of Ice Cream.

On the bright side, this should be some relief to Winky’s spleen. Hopefully.

Ya…rock em sock em robots are half the size of when I was a kid in the 60’s.

I’m glad that “pints” of ice cream are smaller, since they have fewer calories that way …
