Reply to comment by skyecolin22 in [OC] Shrinkflation has hit my Breakfast Burrito last year. This is the last 7 years of Saturday breakfast burrito weight from the same restaurant. I have been tracking them in excel. You can see a covid dip between Jan - Aug 2020. by chiefd59

In all seriousness, there is no logical connection between the second burrito being weighed as the highest and your hypothesis

There is outlier data that matches the initially high data points in the latter half of the set, that if normalized by a moving average would be identical in value

The real connection is that having a massive burrito on your 2nd ever trip to a place may trigger or encourage tracking of the weights of burritos. Op may have been intreagued by the varience in weights, perhaps hoping next time or one day they'll get a bigger burrito, only to chase that high or PR for the remainder of the experiment.

If the second one is what triggered it, then the first one we’d have data for would be that one (or the third).

The fact that we have data for the first seems to imply that isn’t the case.
