The Kit Kats not only drop from 4 to 2, but they make them about 60% of teh size of the regular ones.

I get that they do it for Halloween, Easter, and so women don't have to feel as guilty about having some, but maybe if they dropped the prices a bit on the normal sized bars people could afford to give those out.

Candy bars shouldn't cost $1 or more. Just sayin'

I remember back when there were movie theaters that only cost a dollar!

That's cute, but in the case of candy, it isn't about cost of living increases or inflation.

Until Cadbury Creme Eggs return to a reasonable price the candy industry can kiss my ass.

I agree. It's not thinking about the good old days. It's the fact that a Milkyway is not worth a dollar. There isn't a dollars worth of Candy there.

Talking about the good old days though. . .

.59, .79, .99. That was awesome.

Nah, nowhere near that old.

I do remember it being 0.97, though.

I remember in '87, when I turned 16, it was about fifty cents.
