The chocolate world is in midst of a revolution, and the king-sized Snickers has been dethroned.

So will the kids will eat TWO 200 calories bars instead of ONE 250 calorie bar?

I don’t like King size Snickers. Not enough chocolate. I like the snack size and bite size the best. That said, it is disgusting the way these companies bow to Michelle’s will.

Mars: We’re going to cut out the big candy bars, make them all smaller and charge you more!
That’s good business.

What morons. If they are going to do that they might as well stop selling candy bars completely, and start making brocolli, spinach, or celery bars.

A sneaky way to raise the price.

They should come up with a Queen-sized Snickers bar with a large back-end, in Michelle’s honor.
