I *hate* that!

Twix candy bars just went from  2 ounces to 1.79 ounces with no reduction in price. Fuckers. I need to stop stress-eating anyway, so maybe this is good for me.

mmm... Twix

I can't believe the candy bars at the grocery store are 99 cents. That's what keeps them out of my cart.

I hate that, too. And it plays hell with recipes that assume that a can of beans is a pound, or whatever.

Generally I can avoid candy machines and point-of-purchase displays by reminding myself that I have better chocolate at home :-)

(That said, I *do* like Twix bars, so I share your frustration at the duplicitous manufacturers....)

Hmmm, they are trying to make us healthy by providing less of the junk in their junk food?

I think I read (in Eat This, Not That?) that Twix are horrible calorie sinks. Much worse than some of the regulars.

We have a free vending machine at work. Fortunately, they don't have any of my favorites in the machine, or I would use it even more than I already do.
