I remember when a candy bar was 1/2 today's size. Everywhere you go it's "supersized this" and "supersized that". Even snickers bars are 2" longer, 1/2" thicker

- eli 16y agoI think you are mistaken. Perhaps you're thinking of the "king size" version which costs more? http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/rising_cost_of_candy/ http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/rising_cost_of_candy/
- michaelhalligan 16y agoPerhaps, I haven't purchased one since I stopped doing packaged foods, but I no longer notice the standard sized candy bars, the liquor store counters and grocery store check-out aisles seem to be filled only with the "king size" versions.

- enjo 16y agoI actually noticed the opposite. A few days ago I had a craving for a snickers bar. I haven't had one in years. So I popped into my local 7-11 and I noticed that the candy bars all looked...smaller... than when I was a kid. There was no king size to be found. Anecdotal? Sure, but it does support what the poster was claiming.
- michaelhalligan 16y agoYour point of reference has changed. My father was the biggest man in the world when I was 5 years old, now I feel like I could hollow out a leg and hide him in it.
- eli 16y agoSure, that and they're actually getting smaller. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1190395/Shrinking-Mars-bar-Size-cut-7-2-price-stays-same.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1190395/Shrinking-Ma...
