LOL this is funny.

They are downsizing their candy bar to do us a favor.

I remember as a kid when the Giant sized bar they sell now was the regular sized bar they sold for a nickle.

They kept making it smaller and smaller to keep it at a nickle, and finally they jacked up the price.

That is whay they are making this one smaller too, don’t be fooled by their BS that they are doing us a favor.

By the way the article didn’t mention that they would charge less for the smaller bar did it??

I remember when I used to go to the store and buy a candy bar, I never do any more. I cannot see my way to dump a dollar or more on a sweet tooth.

The only time I eat candy now is when it is left over from halloween.

You’re right about that; now I see stores selling “regular size” candy bars in a discount bin at a “sale price” of $.89, that I’ve never paid more than $.50 for (and still wouldn’t). Even the “pick-a-mix” (penny candy, like star-lite mints or small gum balls) now comes in $.99 bag for 20 pieces. I never see anyone buy them, either; the ones in the stores are probably 15 years old by now.
