Tropicana's new, smaller bottle design led to a 19% sales drop amid customer complaints of "shrinkflation."

Tropicana recently redesigned its iconic orange juice bottle, switching to a more traditional plastic look and reducing the size from 52 ounces to 46 ounces, leading to a 19% drop in sales in October. Customers complained about "shrinkflation," accusing the brand of charging the same price for less product. This isn't the first time Tropicana faced backlash; a 2009 redesign also led to a 20% sales drop. The company is now boosting advertising to familiarize customers with the new design.
