Shrinkage. 6/26/2005

I walked into the KFC the other night, with the intention of buying dinner. I bought a kid’s meal of nuggets and a toy, and 3 pieces of poultry on a plate for myself. The bill came up to $20. I paid the bill, walked out, drove home.

As I sat down for dinner, with a book open in front of me, I flipped open the box, and dug in. And pulled out a drumstick that was so fucking small, it was practically invisible. I could slip the whole thing into my mouth, and just vacuum the flesh off. It wasn’t filling, at all.

Looks like inflation has hit everything. You pay more, and get less. Very much less.
