I watched this the other day. You cannot even understand how pissed I am. Don't mess with a fat kid's favorite easter candy!

I have also noticed that "fun-size" candy bars are not nearly as fun as they once were. Is this some kind of French plot against the stupid fat Americans? (The answer is no, but it's a nice conspiracy theory).

Hey... if you were a Cadbury rabbit wouldn't you be happy to squeeze something smaller our your... uh... ????.... and hope consumers didn't notice the diff??

That's a good point, but given the general reputation of promiscuity among the bunny population, I would think they could handle it.

I bet they still charge the same amount of money for them.

what is this world coming to?

LOL - we all must on the phone and complaint immediately!

Amazing!

Call in Ralph Nader!

It was only done first and then lied about for our own good. Sure, I'm talking about the Cadbury Eggs.

Packaged products have been getting smaller for years. Manufacturers get away with it because most people only pay attention to price, not quantity. Many boxes of pasta that used to be packaged in one pound boxes are now sold in 12oz. packages. The amount of chips in large bags of Doritos has been steadily shrinking. Usually the packaging stays the same size and you don't realize you're just buying more air (whoever thought up "contents may have settled during shipping" was a marketing genius). My mom's got an old metal dispenser for facial tissues and when you fill it with a stack of tissues there's now a 1/2" gap around the edges where many years ago the tissues used to exactly fit the container. These same companies love plastering their packaging with marketing hype of "New and Improved" and "New Package Design," but I'm still waiting for the "Now with Less Product!" label.

Yeah... I remember the first time I found myself back on the east coast and I bought a box of Scooter Pies. Smaller and taste like ass? HOORAY!

I've also noticed that bags of chips are usually puffed up to capacity with air now... I think that's so you can't tell exactly how not full they are.

Ah well... we're too fat anyway.
