Hershey’s is claiming that its customers have requested that it shrink the size of its chocolate bars, as well as change the ingredients. But I think that, in reality, the company is just trying to save money, by making them smaller, and switching to cheaper, lower quality ingredients. The writer of this article thinks the readers are dumb enough to fall for these lies, but the comments in the comment section prove otherwise.

Same price for less chocolate that tastes worse. No thanks.

Ridiculous. There is already calorie info on every product manufactured by big brands in the U.S.

Remember that time (1985) when Coca Cola decided that its customers wanted a change? Hershey’s Classic anyone?

The only candy I eat is dark chocolate on which I am hooked and addicted!

However, no Hershey junk for me...I get it at a local shoppe here that hand-makes high-quality candy in the back of the store.

My favorite application of dark chocolate is Dark Chocolate Bark (with almonds) that owner Michelle personally produces.

It's expensive as all get-out...but well worth the cost. My family looks for me to ship some of these "barks" to them every Christmas, which I do...and it almost sends me to the poor house!

But Christmas connotes "all things bright and beautiful" and my dark chocolate bark gifts are that.....plus being scrumptous, too. So I'm happy to pack 'n ship this manna from heaven at Christmas, and sometimes for birthdays, also.

Bon Appetit to dark chocolate lovers everywhere!

So they will make the chocolate bar more costly and thinner and less tasty.
That should improve sales!!

Hershey is OK, as long as it is relatively cheap I buy it occasionally. Won’t if the cost approaches Lindt, which is WAY better chocolate.
