Candy bars are a complete ripoff these days.
When I was a kid you could get a large Milky Way or other similar candy bar for $0.25 to $0.33.
Everyone knew that a candy bar was worth about a quarter or maybe a little bit more.
That was for a good size candy bar too.
Then one day a lot of things started going up in price and candy bars were one of those things.
Instead of being a quarter they were nearly a dollar.
I think it was close to 10 years ago when this happened.
The price jumped from like a quarter to $0.60 or $0.70 and then it was $1 before you could even turn around.
Now if you can find a candy bar for $1 you're are pretty lucky.
I saw these little bitty candy bars while I was walking out of Walmart today.
They are literally the size of your finger.
They are only slightly bigger than a little kid size Twix bar.
I would say that they are about the size of a single Kit Kat.
They cost more than standard size candy bars used to cost.
$0.44 for one of these.
That's pretty hard to believe isn't it?
Who can afford candy bars I ask you?
Candy bars are a complete ripoff these days.
