To name but a few companies that manufacture chocolate bars...Have you noticed a shrinking trend? In size? Is your favourite still coated thickly? Or are they being super stingy? Do you feel like you are being cheated opening your choccies?

Sizes have been shrinking for years now, how about the cheese bars?

Hi Marlina ! Thank you for joining our conversation ! Have you noticed other products shrinking?! I believe customer loyalty is being taken advantage of! Even cans of cola are a little bit smaller !

Size has been dwindling in most packaged food products from cereal to rice to flour.

Thank you John for your astute comment! All consumers are looking for value but it seems like companies are chasing the bottom line and cutting corners - literally - to keep their profit margins high! Bring our own scales to the stores next?

Chocolate is only healthy in moderation so it does not bother me about manufacturing chocolate bars.
