Price rise or shrinkflation? You choose

Prompted by a recipe for a cake which a friend gave me 30 years ago which requires X number of Mars Bars - recipe no longer works as the aforementioned confectionery has shrunk so much and I have to guess at it. What would you prefer - your purchases to go up in price or down in size?

Price rise, 100%

Just make a miniature cheaper version as well

Second price rise, I don’t tend to check the weight of things I’ve bought for years so it makes my life easier.

Price rise. Better for the environment as there's proportionately less packaging.

Price rise for me too. I don’t check weights so it’s only when something inevitably goes wrong or runs out too quickly that I clock the smaller size.
