(KYMA, KECY) - You know when you open a bag of chips and realize the bag is only about half full?

You might start seeing a lot more of that, and not just with chips.

More and more products are shrinking in size or quantity.

We're talking everything from slimmed down toilet paper and fewer cookies in a bag to less conditioner.
