In the video, the creator holds the fried food in different ways between her fingers to show how surprisingly small the piece is.
According to Raising Cane websiteA single chicken strip is priced at $2.59 each.
While a complete combo meal that includes four chicken strips, crinkle cut fries, Cane’s sauce, Texas toast, coleslaw and regular drink/tea sells for $14.69.

The short clip, titled ‘I swear Canes’ chicken is getting more like a nugget every time I go’, shows viewers sharing their own experience with the fast food chain.
“I was literally talking about this just now, they’re smaller than toast,” one viewer complained.
While another added: ‘They used to weigh over 2oz each, now they weigh between 1.6-1.8oz.’
“Please, mine was the size of my thumb… I haven’t used it since,” one TikToker revealed.

Several employees also revealed that the size of the offers was based entirely on the shipment they received.
One viewer wrote: ‘I used to work there – it depends on which plant we get our shipment from. Some weeks are bad and some are good, but the weight of the tender meat ranges from 1.4-2.3 ounces (I usually marinate the chicken and weigh it)’
While another added: ‘Cane worker, it depends on the shipment we receive. Some weeks we get good sized offers, other times they are small :/’
But the TikToker and her followers believe that “shrinkflation” is the reason why the once-massive tenders are now tiny nuggets.
According InvestmentpediaPrice inflation is “the practice of reducing the size of a product while maintaining its selling price.” It is a way of increasing profit margins in a more opaque way, compared to the other, more obvious way, which would be to keep the product the same but increase its price.
