they’re increasing the wax content?
What it means is your paying more and getting less.
the changes were inspired by things like luxury taxes on cans of coke, government being responsible for everyone’s health (and therefore eating habits), and any of a dozen other health fascist impulses.
Hershey has always been a poor man’s Cadbury.
Not adding pot?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................
Remember New Coke?
I hope Hershey does!
>>As long as our Hershey bars still taste like our childhood dreams, were cool.
But they don’t. Not even close to those 5 cent Hershey bars of the 1960s that I remember. And now they will just be smaller.
The New Coke.
The absolute best chocolate, IMHO, is LINDT.
Hershey is way down the list. I never buy it, so I don’t care what they do to their product.
I will bet a buck there is some government regulation either on the books or coming that is driving this change.
Something like “Any food over 200 calories per serving must (INSERT LIBERAL NANNY STATE LANGUAGE HERE)”
You gotta love those marketing departments. Hershey is, in essence, increasing its prices by giving you less chocolate for the same price. How do they spin it? By claiming that is a move to make their chocolate bars more healthy by having less calories! LOL. That's great. By that logic, why don't they have you give Hershey $2.00 and they'll just give you a wrapper. That's the most healthy chocolate bar of all.
Kidding aside, I hate these marketing campaigns that make candy and other junk food more healthy. If you are eating chocolate, you aren't being healthy, period. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are eating a healthy chocolate bar. Just eat the real thing but limit your intake of candy. Control yourself. Don't eat it all the time. You don't need Hershey or McDonalds to make their food more "healthy." Just control how much of it you eat.
I agree, it’s about saving money. They are trying to tell us that people want to cut down on calories but still buy king size candy bars? I would like that too but I don’t expect Hershey to do it for me.
It already tells you that on the label, you idiot.
Yup, every time I buy a candy bar, I write the maker to tell them I want it smaller...said no one, ever!
When meddling affects the company’s bottom line, shareholders get nervous. This is a horrible idea.
Traslation... They are going to make them smaller and probably not lower the price.
“Give me less chocolate, and make it crappier.” Said nobody ever.
they’ve been shrinking the chocolate bars for many years...I remember when a “king” or “giant” bar...the largest ones they made, other than there huge gift bar.. 7-8 oz..were on sale for $1....now, their “king” bar is 4oz and rarely do you see it less than $1.50.
For years, Hershey didn’t change the prices of their various bars, but rather did “adjust the size” to maintain profits when they had raw material cost fluctuations. Now they are “selling the idea” that they are just being “health conscious!”
