Yes, lots of things are shrinking??????? as I age. I have gone from almost 6 ft 1 down to about 5ft 10 in about the last 20 years. My hat size has gone down (maybe because of hair loss?). My wallet and bank accounts are dropping. I am listening to less Rock and Roll (and more classical). My weight IS actually decreasing as my muscle density flies strangely away. My serve speed is decreasing. And yes, economically speaking - the purveyors of retail goods have found packaging methods designed to make quantity look bigger, while actually decreasing quantity. And the quality of many products is decreasing and being made of cheaper, and inferior materials. And the middle class is decreasing to the point of non-existence.
