Karen, I hadn't thought of firing off an email -- I just did that! Man it felt good!

I accused them of ruining an American Classic! LOL

5# bags of sugar have become 4# bags... A pound of coffee is now 12 ounces.......NOW RESSE'S?

(I think we are not suppose to notice the differance!)

Reese's are my favorite candy!! I have not had one for awhile so will have to buy it and weep I guess.

Good idea about writing the company - I will do that, too. But first, I need a Reese's Peanut Butter cup!

Wait a minute!

A RRCB is a marshmallow bar dipped in chocolate and nuts.

If you slice one up and put it in between graham crackers and nuke them
you get a smore with nuts in it!

My Lord, I do remember Rocky Road Candy Bars!!!!!!

I can relate to the despair felt when we find out there is An "Incredible Shrinking Disorder" going on.

Remember how big an Ice Cream Sandwich used to be? How about those Ice Cream sundae cones? Yep, they are smaller !!!

so now, it is Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups!!!!!! :eek

Pretty soon, we will have to be happy with just the "Hole" from our Life Savors!!!!!!!

I noticed this too! Ice cream is like that now - no more "quarts" are real quarts. And sometimes they switch to listing it in metric units just to make it even more confusing!

They don't realize just how all this will impact the sweet craving masses! I need a candy bar...

In honor of this thread I bought some snack-size heath bars (one of my favorites) at the grocery store tonight and ate a couple in the parking lot. Purely for research, you know.

My research conclusion is that they have shrunk, too. They're almost as thin as a Kit Kat stick.
