i just saw an ad for a candy bar called "air delight", its pretty much a candy bar with little air pockets in it.

now my cynical eye immediately saw that it was nothing more than hersheys trying to save 1/100th of a penny on chocolate by selling it as a new product. just like "tubeless" toilet paper, merely a way to save a pittance on materials yet sold as a "green" product.

ice cream has gone downhill big time. i'm only 33 but current containers of ice cream are half the size they used to be and seemingly shrinking by the week yet they still have the nerve to charge top dollar for them. twinkies and snack cakes are 1/3 of the size they used to be.

anybody else know any other products that have gone downhill either in terms of quality or head scratching cost-cutting measures?
