Are smaller portions of solid blocks of sugar considered a bad thing?

When what you want to buy is solid blocks of sugar, and you're paying more for the reduced version too, then yes.

Neither you nor the manufacturer are supposed to be my doctor.

No, but it is bad if you're told by economists that prices arent going up.

No, if price goes down accordingly.

Has anyone done the inflation adjusted math per gram, accounting for less cocoa or whatever?

Viral stories generally don’t come with any maths at all.

It has got to be bad. I noticed full size lays bags are now stamped for $7 and change. $7 for a bag of potato chips you'd think that was crazy bougie organic chip prices with some dill and Himalayan pink salt. But no, that's what lays and cheetos are going for.

It's probably 30g less cocoa with 10g extra sugar lol.

That would result in negative cocoa.

Yeah but in terms of practical consequences this would only be a marketing problem if they weren't still allowed to refer to it as chocolate!

do they even call them chocolate bars?

I thought they called them candy bars in the states?
