Costco sent a huge ripple through its fanbase earlier this year after switching the packaging for its beloved, ever-affordable $4.99 rotisserie chickens.
In a Reddit post this week, an alleged Costco worker claimed the retailer is planning to reduce the size of its popular bakery muffins.
If true, this would be a huge development since these massive baked goods are known for being more similar in stature to small cakes than traditional, reasonably-sized muffins.
The alleged worker shared a side-by-side photo of the classic large muffin tins next to new, more petite muffin tins.
Not only will the muffins purportedly be smaller, but they'll also be sold in eight packs, according to the employee. Currently, Costco requires customers to purchase two six-packs of large muffins at a time.
Some Costco locations recently introduced two new smaller muffin varieties—lemon raspberry and butter pecan—that are sold in eight-packs.
The alleged employee's post suggests that all muffin flavors will soon come in the smaller size as well.
Of course, shoppers should take these claims with a grain of salt since Costco itself has not confirmed the change and did not immediately respond to our queries for comment on the rumors.
