Candy bars today are a joke. I will now sound like the sterotypical old man in the movies, but this has always been a source of irritation for me. While the portions of every other food item being sold to the public are doubling, candy bars sizes continue to shrink, and the prices continue to rise.
Fun size!??! Whoever though of that should stand trial for treason.
The latest trick I've noticed is the "packaging misdirection", where the box says clearly it's a 1oz candy bar, but no one reads that. You're looking at the item on the shelf, and it's just as long as you remember a candy should be. Yet when you open it, you're lucky if the actual candy bar is 70% the size of the wrapper.
The people doing this are all going to a special level of hell, I'm sure of it.
