During the previous round of shirkflation I warned people about knowing what year a recipe was from because “a can” means something different in 2004 than in 2010. And now it means something different again in 2025.
Now boxes are getting the shrink treatment too.

Grandma grew up in the 80s eating microwave dinners. She never learned to cook.
That explains the recipe, yes.
Your grandma maybe
The average grandma. My grandma is 90 and grew up in a very different world.
If your Grandma is 90, she definitely didn’t grow up in the 80’s.
I said the average grandma because I was talking about the average instead of mine. Today an average grandma is someone who grew up in the '80s. This shouldn’t have gone on this long so I’m going to try to make this very clear. I was not talking about my grandmother. I’m talking about the average grandmother. The average grandmother grew up in a post kitchen era. They grew up as a latchkey kid in the '80s tossing things in the microwave. The vast majority of grandmas don’t know how to cook anymore.
Your average grandma is only 45 years old or less? Wow, popping out kids quick in that family. Hate to see the low end of this average
Whoms grandma is around 45-50?
Assume two generations of people having kids at 18 years old putting gramdma at at least 36. Assume the average kid is between the ages of 0 18 putting them at 9. 9+36 is 45.
Kids born in 1980 and growing up in the 80s are old enough to be grandparents now.
That is by no means „average“
