Klondike bars
I'm a sucker for these things, but held off getting a pack of them on my last run through Wal-Mart since they upped the price. I got a pack today, and they seem thinner. Is it my imagination, or did they loose almost a quarter of their thickness?

They have gotten smaller...

Other searches I did on Google pulled up stuff from back in 2007 about this so, it's been going on for some time...

Have you noticed candy bars are smaller too.
Which is a good thing, but we might tend to eat more servings.
(marketing experts know what they are doing)
half a cent saved at production x 1 million bars sold adds up.

Kind of surprising.
Usually they do it in steps
1. Raise price
2. Lower the price to previous -- but with the smaller product
3. Raise price
That way, we won't notice
Remember 5 pound cans of coffee? (-> 3lbs-> 39 oz-> -32oz)

My wife pointed out that the package still says 6 4oz bars. This is actually kinda BS- Just another result of greed.

When's the first lawsuit?
Why is it legal for say......Breyers to market 1/2 gallon size ice cream...and it ain't nowhere near that? Isn't that false advertising?
Screw 'greed', or 'dishonesty', or whatever......That's false advertising.

OT..
For years I had at least one a day till I started putting on weight . I saved all the foil & made them in to little ***** Used them for ammo throwing them at the kids. I still have most of them , waiting for the grand kids to get a little bigger
