I have not had a chocolate bar in years, I do buy Laura Secord chocolates to give away at Christmas and enjoy a few bonbons myself. I recently ate a Mars bar, it was not like the Mars bars of years ago. The caramel was overly sweet to the point of being unpleasant, and the chocolate was gritty. Are all chocolate bars not the same quality as in the past?

How anyone can go one year without a chocolate bar is beyond me. I need one at least once a week!

Different time, different craftsmanship (eg - hand and mind of the generation). Same goes for every industry and consumer product out there (food, fashion, music, cars, building architecture, etc). Quality was far superior in the past. But technology and escorting keep roaring ahead. We didn't have cell phones, TERB and personal websites 25 years ago! lol

They're smaller, but I suspect "overly sweet to the point of being unpleasant, and the chocolate was gritty" is probably a matter of your perception and/or memory. You're older now - lots of your tastes have probably changed over the years...

They're harder to open now, everyone uses that foil shit that doesn't rip easily like the old paper wrappers.

I think they taste the same though.

I suspect cost has a lot to do with the lesser quality these days.

Cat, I suspect your tastes have changed.. I know mine did...

I used to be able to gobble two choc bars at one go... Now I can barely finish one.. I just don't have that same sweet tooth...

You mean to say that great hands and minds don't get paid for their craftsmanship like they used to by clients who aren't willing to pay for top quality anymore? If you stop buying the shitty and smaller chocolate bars, they'll stop making them shitty and smaller!

"I am a Chocoholic--absolutely love the stuff. At one point I was addicted to a certain brand of rather large chocolate éclairs so, as a joke, one night my husband took one and gently slipped his erect penis into it and then supported it on a little silver tray while he walked back into the bedroom. I've brought you a special treat he said and, of course, I proceeded to consume the sweet morsel which, in short order, was filled with his cum as well as egg cream.

Several days later he left on a 10 day business trip. A few days after he left I commented on how much I was missing our sex life--and sucking him. Well, he said, if you really miss the taste of me there are a couple of your éclairs in the freezer that I "filled up" for you before I left. Unfortunately, these were all gone by the time he disclosed this news. I'd earlier defrosted them and served them up with coffee and other petite fours to a couple of my girl friends, one of whom commented on the "wonderful" taste and another who slyly quipped that it was like eating a "big chocolate coated cock" without the bother of hair..."

they also started making the bars smaller and charging the same price
...

Yep and changing to cheaper ingredients.

Was in the frozen section of a grocery store the other day and saw a well known ice cream manufacturers display.

Product looked like ice cream and tasted like ice cream but when you looked closely the package it stated "Frozen dessert".

Guess, because of the recipe, they couldn't call it ice cream anymore.

Oh and price was seventy five cents higher than a month ago.

...:)

That's because you're addicted to some of its constituents, probably sugar, but possibly chocolate. If you're eating el-cheapo chocolate bars like Aero and Kitkat then it's probably the sugar you're addicted to. If you cut refined sugar out of your diet for a few months you will eventually break that addiction, and then you will know how it is possible for people to go years without eating chocolate bars.

Agree that Ghirardelli chocolate is very good. Ghirardelli is now owned by Lindt, which happens to be my favorite.
I'm also a chocoholic. I used to gobble two or three "regular" brand bars a day, the kind you can buy at any corner store. Due to health issues, I had to drastically change that habit. Now I either go for Lindt or surprisingly enough the sugar free dark chocolate wafers from Bulk Barn. When I choose Lindt, I'll vary things up with the flavors and types of chocolate, but the dark is very satisfying for the chocolate cravings.

You know that's true. It's like breaking a nicotine habid. An added bonus is losing weight. I lost almost 25lbs in a few months by shunning sweets without added exercise. For years I've beat myself up running and achieved more weight loss in less time without the physical punishment and fatigue.

Funny you should mention Mars Bars. I used to eat tons of them when I was a kid, but haven't for atleast a decade. I finally had one not too long ago and it tasted disgusting.
