Economic issues hit Sesame Street, as Cookie Monster takes to social media to complain his favorite food is getting smaller.
"Me hate shrinkflation! Me cookies are getting smaller," the googly-eyed, furry blue muppet declared on X on Monday, tapping into an economic trend of the day. "Guess me going to have to eat double da cookies!"
Cookie Monster is onto something: OREO Double Stuf Chocolate Sandwich Cookies shrank by 6% in size by weight from January 2019 to October 2023, according to a report based on Labor Department numbers.
Double Stuffed Oreos are the new regular Oreos and regular Oreos are now 'go fuck yourself' sized.
