Is there a term similar to "shrinkflation" when food is made cheaper instead of smaller? (sh.itjust.works)

Not sure if it need a specific term for that but watered-down seems to be the one being used for ages.

Yeah. I was having trouble finding exactly what I was looking for by googling "Naked Juice watered-down". I did find something else that suggested specifically what I was seeing with Naked Juice described as Applejuiceification. But that doesn't seem as versatile to describe other food products.

"A different damned drink."

I agree with the term enshitification for this thing normally, but this is just a "bait and switch" at this point.
