Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Kyle Sandilands were left stunned on Tuesday when they discovered how ‘shrinkflation’ had affected a classic Aussie snack.
‘I was reading that Cheezels don’t fit on fingers anymore,’ began Henderson, 49.
Radio king Sandilands then tried to fit a Cheezel on his finger – with the cheese-flavoured ring failing to fit on anything but his pinkie.
‘I can only barely fit it on there,’ complained the shock jock.
However Jackie was able to fit one on the end of her ring finger, and debunked the claims that Cheezels had shrunk.
‘They’re tripping!’ declared the radio star.
It comes just months after Cheezels quietly launched a new flavour across Australia.
As of July, customers could get their hands on a succulent chicken flavour at Coles for $3.50.

Melbourne food blogger who goes by the TikTok moniker @nectoriouspapi spotted the latest offering on shelves and acted swiftly to share the news to his 57,000 followers.
In a now-viral video he compared the new product to the original cheese flavour.
‘They look exactly the same (as the original Cheezels) but with a different sort of colour,’ he said in a clip.
‘It’s a strong chicken smell as soon as you open up the packet. Guys, these taste great.’
He claimed the chicken Cheezels taste similar to Chickadees biscuits but have a ‘better texture’.
‘I was reading that Cheezels don’t fit on fingers anymore,’ began Henderson, 49
‘Definitely check them out,’ he added.
The video quickly caught the attention of fans who seemed eager to get their hands on a box.
‘I need these in my life,’ one wrote
‘Hopefully they taste like the mini ones they had years and years ago. They were so good!’ another said.
A third added: ‘No way, Cheezles are my favourite.’
Someone else added: ‘Yeah thought they’d taste like Chickadees.’
The latest offering divided opinions as some fans couldn’t wait to try the new flavour but others believe nothing can beat the original cheese flavour (pictured – stock image)
But some weren’t convinced and believe nothing can beat the original flavour millions love.
‘Saw them today and got a pack. They’re good but I prefer cheese,’ one admitted.
‘Nope, the original cheese always slaps,’ anther added.
Others were disappointed the brand decided to launch a new flavour rather than bring back the chilli cheese or mini pizza flavours.
The same month, Doritos Australia announced the release of its bold new flavour – coffee.
