Most people have made or heard the comment 'I'm sure Mars bars were bigger when I was a kid!', well that's because they were, as were any other chocolate bar, bag of crisps, etc, manufacturers make things slightly smaller instead of increasing the price, even big macs are smaller (so are the baps they serve them in!), more recently the supermarkets govern the price and the manufacturers comply with costs by reducing size.
