I know this is a bit late, but I just found out about this last night. I found an article where :insatiable: discussed Shrinkflation on Twitter/X, but in a weird way he gets responses from the likes of the White House and even Frank Oz, his original puppeteer. It is the Frank Oz thing that makes me want to discuss this with you all if you like to. On one hand I have respect for the man for the legacy of his work in the Henson characters, but on the other hand, but on the other hand it is a silly little tweet on a serious topic and sometimes we cannot underestimate how impactful it can become when it comes from Sesame Street’s iconic characters. Still what do you think about this ?

Here is the article in question… https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...-are-both-sick-tired-shrinkflation-rcna141937
