Gladys: Oh, dear!
Gladys: Just look at how they've downsized my favorite chocolate bar!
Gladys: Why couldn't they have downsized carrots or broccoli instead?
I do not mind that they make stuff smaller but they still keep the same size box . Look at fiber bars you can fit 4 more bars in the box wiht no problem. And my favorite chocolate covered cherries I go a box that use to hold 24 and only had 12 in it now with a lot of plastic

I can’t resist, since I’m a nit-picker..If “it is smaller” – then it isn’t what you “used to pay a nickel for”! Right?.
