A Reddit thread in Singapore has sparked a discussion about inflation and shrinkflation, with users sharing their concerns and experiences with the issue. The thread also touched on other topics, such as the increasing price of 500ml beverages and the reduction in the number of pastilles in Ribena packaging.
In Singapore, a Reddit thread sparked concerns about inflation and shrinkflation when a user posted a photo of a 300ml bottle of green tea with the same price as a 500ml bottle.
However, fact-checking revealed that both sizes are available in Singapore, with the 500ml bottle priced at S$1.65 and the 300ml bottle at S$1.35, making the bigger one a better value for money. Buying in bulk can lead to even lower prices. Some commenters suggested that the post author might have only seen the new smaller-sized portion and concluded that it replaced the 500ml bottles.
A commenter also mentioned that a similar concept exists in Japan, where people opt for smaller sizes to prevent wastage, even if it's worse value. The discussion also touched on other topics, such as the increasing price of 500ml beverages at 7-11, and the reduction in the number of pastilles in Ribena packaging.
Additionally, a commenter advised the post author to brew their own tea using teabags and store it in the fridge, which can be a cheaper option in the long run. Furthermore, a commenter mentioned that some canned drinks have been reduced in size from 375ml to 320ml, while another commenter recalled that they were once 330ml. The thread also highlighted the positive sentiment from investors towards semiconductor and chipmaker firms, driven by the significant increase in electronics exports.
In a separate incident, a neighbor in Singapore had to resort to using fans and burning incense in the hallway to mask the foul odor emanating from an elderly woman's house, which has been a problem for over a year. The incident has sparked concerns about the well-being of the elderly woman and the impact of the odor on the surrounding community.
