Remember when a Big Mac was big?

Not sure what size they are in the US but man, it's taking the piss the piss to call it a 'Big' Mac these days.

They seem to reduce the size of the damn thing annually.

The newest cereal boxes are 9.5 ounces......the "Fruity Pebbles" box is a bit bigger than a Grape-Nuts box. Of course the price is the same as when it was 16 ounces.....

Re: Hershey's (as well as others) not only produced smaller size, they lowered the quality as well.
So you don't know the history of Hershey's chocolate? It was always meant to be a cheap ass (read NOT QUALITY) chocolate that the poor people could afford.

It started during the depression, Hershey wanted to market a chocolate bar at a nickle a bar so that kids could afford to get a little taste. So he came up with a cheap, watered down chocolate recipe that would still turn a profit at a nickle a bar.

Enter Hershey's Chocolate. Chocolate for paupers.

You want real chocolate go Lindt or Ghirardelli. There are other brands out there worth getting too.

Don't complain about non-quality chocolate from a non-quality chocolate bar.
