Conversations about this apparent change were sparked after a TikTok went viral comparing the chicken tenders to chicken nuggets, and since, others have agreed that Raising Cane\u2019s is being affected by shrinkflation. The original TikTok, posted back in June, has amassed over one million views and sparked a thread of videos under the \u201cRaising Canes Getting Smaller\u201d label. The video posted by Roz had users in the comments comparing Raising Cane\u2019s sizes since they first opened, with some customers claiming that their chicken tenders used to be double the size. \u201cThe other day I got some that were barely larger than the ketchup packet they give you.\u201d One person commented, with Roz agreeing that she used to \u201cbarely be able to finish a combo box meal\u201d and now it\u2019s \u201cnothing\u201d. \u201cUsed to be over 2 oz each now they are between 1.6 and 1.8 oz\u201d another mentioned, clearly having done the math and weighed out the tenders after some suspicions. It wasn\u2019t just the chicken people were concerned about, either. The video above states that they feel that the classic Texas Toast has gotten smaller too, and one commenter noted, \u201cThey used to throw in like 3 fist fulls of fries now I can actually finish the fries.\u201d followed by a crying emoji. Although the sizing of the portions is alleged to have gone down, the prices have certainly gone up. According to a food reviewer and avid Caniac on Instagram, a Raising Cane\u2019s box combo costed $8.35 in 2019, but in 2024, it has gone up by 55% to $12.99. When compared to other popular chicken chains, a combo of the same size is coming out at $11 at Popeye\u2019s, and $10.44 at KFC, making Cane\u2019s the most expensive. A Raising Cane\u2019s worker on TikTok was able to shed some light on why these changes might be: \u201cCane\u2019s worker\u2014 depends on the shipment we get. some weeks we get good size tenders other times they\u2019re small.\u201d Another, who claims to be in charge of weighing tender shipments before the marinating stage noted that anything between 1.6oz and 2.3oz is perfectly normal. This isn\u2019t the only fast food chain that customers are disappointed with, McDonald\u2019s fans aren\u2019t pleased with this year\u2019s Boo Bucket design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raising Cane\u2019s customers convinced major change has been made to their chicken TikTok \/ RedditRaising Cane\u2019s has been going viral in 2024 for their mega portions, namely, the full soda fountain cup of their iconic Cane\u2019s sauce; but the sauce is for nothing if the chicken tenders aren\u2019t up to scratch, and people feel that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70759\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
