Is it me or do Fun Sized candy bars seem to be smaller than they used to?

I was just enjoying a Fun sized candy bar and I noticed that they aren't as big as they used to be, at least to me.

has anyone else noticed that, too?

    Everything is getting smaller or less. Notice that the cereal boxes are only about 2/3 full now? They say it is due to settling during shipping. BULL! The boxes were full when I was a kid. Why didn't they settle then?

    yes...and why do they call them "fun sized" anyways, they're just enough of the candy bar to tick you off if you don't have any left and thats not very fun to me......now give me a foot long Snickers and Ill call that a "fun sized" candy bar

    No it isn't just you. All candy bars are smaller than they once were. I can well remember spending 5 cents on a hersey bar and it was much larger than it is now!!

    Yes, and I never considered that size fun anyway. Now, the king-sized bars are fun!

    Yes. Not good.

    And i always thought, how the heck is a candybar you can eat in one bite "fun sized"?

    The most fun ones are the Gi-freaking-normous 5 pound ones you can get at hershey park!

    I've noticed a lot of things aren't as big as they used to be regarding food products :(

    they are so much smaller because the penny pinchers of the company figured it was best to make them smaller to save money.......yeah those bloody rats

    i also can't figure out why they call them "fun" size. i mean, the "fun" ones are the giant sized ones!!

    Yes they are smaller because everyone is concerned about fat content and other crap like that.
