Imagine a new kind of shrinkflation where instead of the portion reducing, it's the taste of the food that becomes weaker.
There is a surprising amount of products where both has been happening - some of them also getting more expensive.
That's what's happening with bell peppers and giant strawberries, isn't it?
Or tomatoes. They don't deliberately grow them bigger and more watery, but they did breed them for transport and automated harvest for decades. So now we have wooden, watery tomatoes that taste of nothing.
Also for appearance, they look perfectly round and red so people buy them, instead of the retarded looking half green tomatoes from the farmers market that taste amazing.
