this is the response i just got
In response to your email regarding SNICKERS BRAND.

We appreciate your comments and assure you Mars Snackfood US remains committed to producing the highest-quality, best-tasting snack food products that provide consumers with exceptional value for their money. Our wholesale prices are commensurate with the costs of all raw materials as well as the many other business costs. For example, today's prices of cocoa, the basic ingredient for chocolate, are extremely high.

The size of the product was changed in order to hold the retail price steady. This is also directly related to manufacturing and ingredient costs. When you compare the weight of any product of equally high quality, we are confident our candy would cost less per ounce.

Sincerely,

Consumer Care
Mars Snackfood US

who the fuck compares snickers to anything i dont recall the last time i went to the store and bought an imitation snickers.

"The size of the product was changed in order to hold the retail price steady."
what snickers is not trying to tell you here is that they made the snickers smaller so they can charge you the same or more like in my case it went up to 1.59 from 1.49. just making people aware of that

I was pissed when I walked down to the soda machine at work with my $1.15 only to find out it had gone up to 1.35. I was about to shake the soda machine like a small mexican baby.

yeah you see things like that big time when you work in a soda store some soda jumped almost 13 dollars a case on us we had to cut stock on a lot of soda cause it wouldnt sell but our snickers are still a dollar and not cut or anything lol
