Why is this a thing all of a sudden? People have lost their minds and trashy af these days.
Criminals and the uncouth are incredibly empowered after last year.

We are in an age where certain people condemn anything learned, elite, proper, dignified, mannered, authoritative, communal, ... etc.
Why? Let's go over to the political forum & find out!
(hint: it didn't start last year)

The tiny nuances in relationships that you overlook in the beginning, become the things that make you want to scoop your own eyes out with a spoon later on.

Seems kinda gentle, no At least in relation to the topic of discussion. I'm thinking more along the lines of rusty, jagged 3" spikes that have been simmering in the manure pond for 6 months.

"shrinkflation" is going to get worse with a variety of food products. I read a story about how dozens of customers have begun reporting Chipotle suddenly making much smaller sized burritos compared to the customary size. Lol. There are a bunch of photos being posted across social media with dollar bills and/or rulers placed next to the shrunken burritos for reference. I get Chipotle every now and then but usually a bowl as opposed to a burrito but I'm familiar with how big they typically are. This photo shows it being about 5 inches. Pretty sure it is indeed shrunk. LOL. Oh and the bonus is the prices have increased.

Bend over consumer....

Well, in all honesty some people in America could use reduced size portions.

Indeed! Especially in the Southern states.
BUT, there shouldn't be a double whammy in that portions are getting smaller and prices getting higher.

It's even worse: we think our local independent burrito store has been Chipotle-ized. They took all the spices out!!
Now its big, ricey, and bland.

I don't have proof of it, but I know that you're wrong. I've been living with chronic constipation (side-effect from one of the meds I'm on) for a few years now. Taco Bell, White Castle, every over-the-counter powder and pill, and even the prescription stuff are all powerless against it.

Maybe I should try Outback? That's the only place where I can get chocolate thunder from down under every time that I dine there.....

Actually, that never bothered me in my healthy days. I had a friend who's colon was triggered by Cheeseburgers and Parasites, which no surprise was owned by Outback before they folded.

Multiple meals from our favorite Sri Lanka restaurant didn't move anything. Never tried Indian food, though.

I have the materials in my kitchen chemistry set to compound me up a few doses of magnesium citrate, and I may try it in the future.....
