Interesting. I always assumed the cost of the actual product for things like this was next-to-nothing, with marketing/profit/administration/distribution making up the vast majority - thus making portion sizes basically irrelevant.

Depends on the product. For coke that's probably true. But cocoa beans are getting more expensive since demand is up, and supply isn't changing much.

Cost is nothing, but with a smaller portion size, demand can be forced up.
