In the early 1900's Hershey started reducing the size of his chocolate bars to keep the price at 5cents. But eventually had to just raise the price and went back to larger bars. Quantity reduction to maintain a price point is definitely nothing new.

They were stock Omega spring bars! I’ve gone through 5 Snoopys now and 2 Ed Whites. It keeps happening when I’m ice fishing and I lose them in the lake! The silver lining is I’ve spent so much at the OB I get immediate allocations. They see me coming and they just go grab another Snoopy for me.
Sorry still not believing it. But glad you are able to afford such losses, few can.

The part in bold is what has changed

I’ve reached the limit of my ability to come up with absurd sarcastic statements. I thought the tone here was set with a guy complaining that his soap bar shrank after use, but apparently I misread the room. I’ll show myself the door. 😁

It wasn’t lost on all of us. And I wish you luck with your class action suit against the spring bar makers.

Thank you. I’m also working on hiring a professional diver to go pull all those Snoopys out of the lake. Look for them soon in the for sale section here. I’m not sure if they’ll be dry because the lake is 51 meters deep but I hope they take on a nice lake patina if nothing else.

Sometimes it happens on the internet. Different cultures, different native languages, can't read tone from print. Don't worry it happens.

You wouldn't be the first here to do that 😉 😁

I believe, in this case, insurance fraud was the name of the game 😗 🤦
I started, but I don't have it in me to trek through that whole thread. Coincidentally, one time I lost all of my guns in a boating incident somewhere in the Atlantic. Damn shame. 😗

No doubt. I thought I was laying it on pretty thick but not everybody speaks sarcasm as a first language like me 😁. I'm guilty myself. I've had some go right over my head and kicking myself later when I finally get it lol.
