Have Mars Bars shrunk?

I am a self confessed chocaholic. But a standard Mars Bar was always one of the larger bars of choc and was big to eat in just one 5 minute sitting. I just had a craving, and satisfied my craving. But, it felt a bit smaller than it used to. Just smaller all over. Anyone else feel the same?

(I think YANBU would mean you agree with me?)

I agree with you. Snickers too. Just not as satisfying.

I'll add double deckers. Hardly worth having!

Are you comparing to 90s? Then yes.

Shrinking chocolate bars instead of increasing retail price has been quite common in the paste decade IMO.

Toblerone have increased the gaps between triangles and Terry's have put smalls gaps between the segments of chocolate oranges - hence why they're considerably easier to break appart now.

Definitely smaller tho calories are way lower now, when you look . In the late 70's they were 9 pence & mahoosive. Happy days...
