That just means you’ll have to pay more for the amount of calories you really crave for.
And they will rise the price.
Snickers has already downsized their little bite size candy bars.
Some things will remain King Size -- but your snacks will be dealt with harshly.
Wonderful news citizens. The chocolate ration has been increased to 10 grams.
[but wasn’t the chocolate ration 20 grams last week....AH THOUGHT CRIME!!]
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.
Similarly, coffee companies are worried about our excess caffein consumption; why else would they reduce the size of their standard bag o' beans from a pound to 12 ounces?
And thank God for my local tavern: thinking only about the health of my liver, they now sell their "pints" in 14 ounce glasses.
Ain't it great that so many people care about our well-being?
Anybody remember 5th Avenue candy bar?
IMHO the best candy ever made.
It was orginally made by Ludens, and was similiar to Butterfinger only softer and MUCH better.
It was covered in milk chocolate with almonds on top.
Hersheys bought it and discontinued the almonds.
Now, you seldom see them in stores.
Will we be allowed to purchase more than one at a time?
I think this will go over about as well as Olive Garden’s reduced portions.
No value for my money means that my money will find other ways to be spent.
Hm. I remember when they came out with those tiny two bite size bars they euphemistically labeled “Fun Size”. I have never determined who that “fun” was for; it certainly wasn’t me!
So, could the new size be named “Michellesized”?
So, what did a 5 cent snickers bar weigh in about 1960 when the little grocery store my folks shopped in sold them for 6 for a quarter?
Really? I picked up a six pack of Budweiser the other day in these new spun-aluminum bottles and when I got home I realized I'd purchased six 16-ounce beers versus six 12-ounce beers.
I wasn't terribly disappointed.
And let us not forget the latest meme.
Whipped chocolate, now with Air Bubbles tm., new New NEW.
4/5ths the chocolate at the same price, what a concept.
It all gets back to ONE THING, AND ONE THING ONLY!
The government just will not admit that there's any price inflation. And the rest of the world just plays along. We hear it all the time. Not a tiny little bit of inflation. Who are you going to believe? The soothsayers in the Obama regime and their ministry of propaganda, or your lying eyes and wallet?
Just because you can no longer buy a 1/2 gallon carton of OJ (they're now 59oz, down from 64), a package of hot dogs now has 7, rather than 8 franks, maybe to help hide the fact that the weight of the package has dropped from 16 down to 12oz, and a can of tuna fish has gone from 6oz to 5oz, while at the same time, all of the above HAVE increased in price!
No inflation? No, none at all, according to the apologists in the ministry of propaganda. Look how home prices have dropped (how many home owners are happy about that???!!!) and computer and consumer electronic prices have dropped? I found myself shouting at the television, "HOW MANY HOMES, COMPUTERS, and CONSUMER ELECTRONIC DEVICES DO YOU BUY EVERY WEEK, YOU F*@&#NG MORON!?!?!?
My monthly utility bills have gone up, as has the cost of every gallon of gasoline I buy so I can go to work every day! As has the cost of everything that I have to buy on a regular basis!
I am getting so sick and tired of the ministry of propaganda telling me that I should just ignore that shower of piss down my back, don't worry, after all, it's only raining!

As long as they’re halal...
I don’t have a problem with this as long as they lower the price on the lack of candy that we are buying. They price should be the same as buying two of the new candy bars on what was the price of one prior to the change.
New healthier size, same great price!
