Ha! What a joke! As if you couldn't buy more than one.
Yes but you will pay more for the smaller ones. :lol:
Remember when thay ask us to save on water. So we did, yep they started charging us more for using less water as they were not making money.
Then the power co. ask us to save power. So we did, yep they started charging us more for using less power as they were not making money.
Ya got to love the Wide Ass in the WH. :rolleyes:
LOL, just another excuse to downsize their product.
This is no different than the rest, like tuna cans, more water, less tuna.
So now we will simply pay more for the smaller bar.
I bought a pack of Reese Cups and they were about the size of a quarter.

Oh great, now the gov will have to hire candy police to make sure you only eat two.
We have no self control, we are lemmings, we need an overbearing gov to take care of us.
Or just put all your snacks in these bags, that should quell your appetite... :biggrin:
