But what size? I used ot love Wispas until they shrunk them. They were square and long then turned rectangle and long. I didn't really buy them so often once they shrunk. Can anyone else remember them shrinking?

The process of reducing a product's size is called "downsizing" ,and unfortunately for us poor old consumers completely legal. They have gotten round this rather medieaval practise by putting the product weight on the packet and it is up to you to look at it, and compare it mentally to the former weight. The price of this product usually remains the same, and presumably it is done to avoid a price rise, although not in this case. Full size Mars bars are now blatantly advertised as this, as for quite a while they went down to the low weight of 54grams. What a rip off!
