Ya that one for sure predates inflation. I've been seeing it for at least 8 years I feel like. But in that case there are at least options most of the time. Like I can just get haagen-daas or something and not feel screwed. It's also a dessert, so I can just not get it at all or seldomly if the higher cost option is the only one using actual cream.

With more basic things from the shelf, I look at the ingredients and think "Nope, nope, nope, wow even that?, nope, oh this one... has no sugar but 1200mg of sodium wtf!?"

Like if I want sugar, I want to know the thing is a thing I shouldn't be just carelessly eating. I'll get cookies, or a slice of cake, or ya some ice cream. I don't want it in my fucking tomato sauce, and I don't want the tomatoes to actually be tomato-flavoured chunks
