I swear to God, as I walked to work today (having finally gotta job), I was startled by the sound of a truck beeping its horn. But, this particular horn sounded EXACTLY, (and I'm using capitals here to emphasis how exactly I mean) like the opening chords of the theme from the Rocky films. For a split second, I actually expected to see Sly Stallone - clad head to toe in a grey sweatsuit - come bounding down the street towards me, followed by an army of raving marauders. I saw myself joining in, running along side Rocky, as he barged down the inner-relief road. The pugilist.

Anyway - this has nothing to do with the thread. This thread is about penises. Read on.

So, to add to my packed lunch, I'd bought a packet of Walker's Crisps. Have you noticed how few crisps you actually get in a packet these days? I remember back in the day a packet of Walker's Crisps was so jam packed you risked losing an eye when you opened it. At this rate, soon a bag will contain crispy salt flavoured air. Speaking of increasingly diminishing crisp products, have you seen those 'Mini' Pringles yet? An entire packet barely constitutes three regularly sized Pringles. What a rip-off. And as we all know, Pringles are laced with some form of cocaine (allegedly), which makes you wish you’d bought a proper regular tube...cos' once you pop, you can't stop.

What products have you noticed shrink in size? Do they think we don't notice?

The only time I noticed an odd shrinkage in portion was McDonalds in Japan. It seemed like the burger was different and the fries and soda were smaller. I even remember that the napkins felt kind of.. plastic. The napkins really put me off, I only ate there one time because of them alone. The price was not comparable either.

I bought a Dove bar in an airport one time, big box.. kept unwrapping.. was sorta like one of those Russian nesting doll thingy's. by the time I got down to the ice cream bar, it was about half the size of the box.

Mile...you are way high in my book now....that was a perfect setup with the perfect amount of A.D.D. Good one!

I've noticed that gasoline seems to be a victim of shrinkage. The amount I get for $10 is a lot less than it used to be.

That's a good thing, right? I mean, it could've gone the other way. :55
