NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: President Joe Biden's celebration of Super Bowl Sunday took an unexpected turn for some as he appeared in a pre-recorded video criticizing snack companies for inflation, a move perceived by many as bizarre and ironic.
Despite the customary pre-game interview being skipped by the president, the White House's social media account shared a video featuring Biden discussing the concept of "Shrinkflation."
Following this news, Fox News host Sean Hannity took to X, formerly known as Twitter to share this with his followers as many people on the internet slammed Biden.

In Hannity's tweet, he shared an article from his official website discussing how Joe Biden may have decided against participating in the usual Super Bowl pregame interview. Instead, Biden appeared in one of the advertisements during the event, using the opportunity to speak to Americans about the concept of "shrinkflation."
In the ad, Biden said, “It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and if you’re anything like me, you like to be surrounded by a snack or two while watching the big game. You know, when buying snacks for the game, you might have noticed one thing: sports drinks bottles are smaller, [a] bag of chips has fewer chips, but they’re still charging just as much.”
He continued, “As an ice cream lover, what makes me the most angry is that ice cream cartons have actually shrunk in size but not in price. I’ve had enough of what they call Shrinkflation. It’s a rip-off."
"Some companies are trying to pull a fast one by shrinking the products little by little and hoping you won’t notice. Give me a break. The American public is tired of being played for suckers. I’m calling on companies to put a stop to this. Let’s make sure businesses do the right thing now,” he added.
Following this, Biden was brutally roasted on social media for his commercial.
While you were Super Bowl shopping, did you notice smaller-than-usual products where the price stays the same?

Folks are calling it Shrinkflation and it means companies are giving you less for every dollar you spend.
