Cookie Monster's 'Shrinkflation' Complaint Draws White House Response

Cookie Monster, the beloved "Sesame Street" character, expressed frustration over "shrinkflation" affecting his cookies due to inflation, prompting a response from the White House calling for companies to address the issue. President Biden announced a strike force to combat unfair pricing, while an economist noted a decrease in cookie inflation but an overall increase in prices since pre-Covid. Even Girl Scout Cookies have seen price increases, with some councils making the decision to raise prices for the first time in years.
