Chocolate bars weren't bigger when we were kids - our mouths were smaller. |

It's basic economics. The manufacturers need a certain profit margin for their product. They also work out the maximum someone will pay for that product. So for example a bar of chocolate will sell for a maximum of 60p and still be profitable (any more and people will look for a cheaper alternative). As the cost of the ingredients/manufacture go up there is a definite ceiling. The only ways to maintain the profit margin are to reduce the materials or streamline manufacture...which is why the chocolate bars get smaller. |
