I shrunk Britain’s #1 bread. Did anyone notice?

Listen "I shrunk Britain’s #1 bread. Did anyone notice?"

Episode Synopsis

I shrunk Britain’s favourite bread and showed it to a dozen Brits from Bolton. I was experimenting with shrinkflation. Companies shrink the size of their products without changing the price, benefiting from a psychological bias that means we struggle to notice small changes. Today, chatting with Grace Forell from Which?, I figure out the psychology behind shrinkflation, why it works, and I test if anyone notices my shrunken loaf of bread.
