They were bigger in 1977.

Doesn't matter. The price quoted to you was the price per ounce. Ounces were the same size in 1977.

The candy bars at Vons are the small ones. They are the 1 oz size and the price is $1.29. When I was a kid they were 5 cents for the one ounce candy bar. That was the deposit on a large coke bottle. I could get a candy bar for every 24 ounce bottle I redeemed and a candy bar for every two 12 ounce bottles. They didn’t have 16 and 32 back then.

I generally pay $5 for a 4 ounce premium bag of 1/4 ounce Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares. That’s $1.25 per ounce.
