Apparently, smaller sizes for all products are the way to go now. Finally, America decided to learn something good from the Japanese. My very American wife isn't happy with snack and drink sizes shrinking, and said we should start carrying magnifying glasses to the grocery store, hahah. I told her our wallets will thank us later! Do you think this concept will work in America, a country where the motto is 'to get the most out of your money' and not 'to just spend enough to get enough'?

It already is, isn't it? I haven't seen any stories about customer pushback yet, so I'm guessing it's working just fine. I think most people will have no problem accepting this. I'm one of them - I can't step into a gas station without snagging a small bag of the newest Lays flavor.

It’s a hot topic! While smaller sizes are catching on, especially as brands look to mirror successful Japanese trends and respond to consumer health or budget concerns, there’s definitely some pushback in the U.S. where “more for your money” is still a strong mindset. That said, with rising costs and a growing interest in portion control, there’s a good chance smaller sizes will find their niche, especially if brands frame it as a benefit for health or flexibility. It might take time, but as long as the value is clear like better quality or convenience. American shoppers can adapt, even if it means a few jokes about magnifying glasses along the way!

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke.
