Mene Kisses vs. Shrinkflation Kisses

We talked about the Shrinkflation Monster last during the California wildfires when I was stuck inside for a week and forced to go deep into the pantry here:

https://steemit.com/story/@goldmatters/battling-the-shinkflation-monster-with-mene?sort=votes
( note to @nomadicsoul ... if you are feeling nostalgic about my frozen enchilades, you are going to want to read this)

It was then that I noticed this shocking Shrinkflation Monster  that had been lurking in kitchen for a very long time:

![CADF6C8B-EC2F-4DB3-966B-D125B1D08F22.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYUwUMCzhm39K8DFPfJR2gvLRPUQhG9dGGBFxV6f8KnKL/CADF6C8B-EC2F-4DB3-966B-D125B1D08F22.jpeg)

Today I had a nightmarish flashback when I saw these Shrinkflation kisses:

![0A16AB34-66A5-4F1F-A3FC-201F8D7327BF.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmesgjMEgQq76DTebxx2DdLMCD8bzXyPeV3hs7Z7cV8TNb/0A16AB34-66A5-4F1F-A3FC-201F8D7327BF.jpeg)

Read the article:

Shrinkflation is when the cost of something like cereal,yogurt, or chocolate goes up or stays the same, but the quantity decreases. This has been happening for years right under our noses.

![1EC4A415-7648-418E-9147-9302B34F1821.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbnWSz2zJCDMxq4swqvA1TjYnwQP2oGeHPfDzHh9xXrmz/1EC4A415-7648-418E-9147-9302B34F1821.jpeg)

I am not saying that the Shrinkflation kisses were intentional.

I am also not saying they weren’t.

The missing chocolate tips look to be at least a 1% or 2% off the top... and you can bet that they didn’t cost any less.

This debased chocolate means that in the end the consumer was told to kiss off.

It is very similar to how the jewelry industry in the US sells diluted gold to consumers in the form of 14 karat (58% gold) and 18 karat (75% gold) for hundreds of percent mark ups.

Mene does not dilute your kiss, but instead sells 24 karat pure gold priced by gram weight x current metals price with a transparent design fee:

![D95FEE37-985A-4348-860C-43E869E37C76.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTJoxovyPfZCPtuGMjpSBmYsdPMhM3NycpJncdwcR3Qix/D95FEE37-985A-4348-860C-43E869E37C76.jpeg)

When giving or receiving a kiss, do NOT accept a Shrinkflation kiss.  

A Mene kiss will always be pure and will last forever, and will never be a a victim of Shrinkflation.

Invest in Mene 24k Kisses to avoid shrinkflation and to....

The thought of shrinkflation is the beginning wisdom. He who have ears, let him hear, that the proven antidote of shrinkflation is gold investment.
