"Shrinkflation" is a concept based on companies reducing portion sizes while still charging the same price or more to offset the effects of inflation.

"OK, so it was already small," neilybob says in one video. "The Filet-O-Fish has shrunk by I'd say is 20%."

While the TikToker does admit he thinks he has large hands, he calls the sandwich "comically small."

"That's ridculous."

Several others have jumped onboard with the idea the Filet-O-Fish has gotten smaller with comments calling the sandwich the "Filet-O-Goldfish" and the "McMinnow."

"What have they done to this iconic sandwich?" Paul DeSousa asks in another video.
