It's life, and that's what happens. Yeah life sucks but oh well. Bread used to be 5 cents for a loaf, and eggs 10 cents a dozen. Prices eventually have to go up, or in this case, instead of raising the price, they just kept the price the same for slightly less food. It's the same principal, and if I had to choose 1, I would choose "less food/same price" over "same amount/higher price".
Oh, I love mars. Its my favorite chocolate. If only they made giant bars like cadbury, and galaxy. This is a great video Leo, and will flick a switch in our minds. My dad said that they were giant when he was a kid, so It must have been happening drastically in England. Why Guys, do you have to downsize confectionary classics and flagship iconic products? Thumbs up
i live in england and this has been happening for years they shrink the size up the price and tax when iwas a teen in the 90s a king size snikers (marathon) was 43p and was massive they have shrunk and shrunk since and now scrapped the king size in favor of the duo which is 2 small bars in 1even more of a ripp off !!!! FUCK YOU MARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its marketing obviousness. I'm surprised they can look themselves in the mirror afterwards...
Well then again...
Being feebly masterminded by CEO's, self serving add agencies and the slyly guiding hands of corporate share holders...Look themselves in the mirror, WTF am I saying, they live for this shit! They'll be buying themselves more mirrors in their new edition slimmer portion profits pool house. Just so they can remind themselves how great they are when they walk by.Or stand there, basking.
@SN011GlobeTrot in the end there is no law against making a profit, and it's pretty obvious consumers don't really care if their portion sizes are reduced,,BUT are highly sensitive to price rises
They probably feel that kids, who are essentially who they are most trying to reach through these misleading ads and emergency deployment of "spinsationalistic" measures. Are on average much more easily fooled. And as candy companies perhaps feel that they want to keep the magic and illusion of invincibility of all things economies and markets. Something all the ordinary children and slightly older, dafter folk they are trying to fool here have no understanding of anyway.No not marketing genius
This statement from Mars is the height of hypocrisy. Most other food companies just come right out and say it. We've reduced portion size to avoid having to reduce costs. As majority of "consumers" will go for reduction in portion and stable costs over portion stability and EGAD inflationary measures of product. I feel it is because so many of mars most loyal "subjects" are young scarfers of much sugary excess and they shant want to tamper a entire youth movement of brand loyalty programming.
Asda do a cheap mars bar knock off I guess. it's called Caramel Bar and weighs 1.4 ounces (not sure of grams my scales wouldn't work) there's no weight on the pacaging either
considering the dishonest and in some cases antisocial behaviour of companies such as mars cadbury and nestle not to mention the garbage that often goes in product I am inclined to stop eating chocolate
In the 60's as a 10 year old lad, I looked forward to getting a "bite" into the crisp thick layer of chocolate on top of the caramel layer. When I did this I got a satisfying "crunch" as the chocolate top broke up. Today I cannot replicate this with the current bars, seems like half the fun has gone out of the Mars bar, and yes, I do still have most of my teeth!
@thenameissammy It may sound like a sensible idea but one that any food company would never take it upon themselves to try and remedy as all choices to do with obesity are purely individual and through the largely uncontrollable force of ones own metabolism. Although the only motivating factor to ever get a company like Mars to act in the interest of public health is a glaring public spotlight and debate on itself, the only factor at work and play hehe, here is MONEY!
i dont think that its even their fault. its just the shitty economy and everything is expensive. sucessful companies like this usually listen to customers if they can afford to
This is just one way a corporation increases its profits, giving less and keeping the price the same. Coke pulled a fast one by replacing cane sugar with cheaper corn syrup in the 80s and advertized it as 'new coke". Then they reintroduce original coke later with the corn syrup. Funny you can still get real coke in Mexico today.
@luke19631963 the trend i see now with mars bars and snickers is they are sold as a double bar, mainly found at service stations and take aways. attached to this is a nice price tag
so they shrink the bar then package it as a shruken double act and hit you in the wallet for the new format, very clever work indeed.
@leokimvideo Yes indeed its clever work. 3 Musketters is also sold as a "double" bar package. Another example of clever downsizing is coffee. When I was a kid it was sold in one pound metal cans. Then Folgers got the idea to sell it in vaccumed sealed foil bags for 'freshness". These bags only weighed 13 ounces, not 16,but cost the same.
hey not in england in england we get more quility but in (i cant spell your conrty sorry) it has to be shipped and anywau the main factory in england has anither secret ingridient unlike the factorys in other countrys
There shouldnt be any messing about with Mars bars, the powers that be must be toppled, they probably knew i wouldnt notice my munchies getting smaller, they were right but i can see it now, i predict riots.
@Carbon657 - Here in the US. I havn't eaten a Mars bar since the 1980's. I believe that their US plant was sold or returned to the UK. and the Hershey's Corp. bought their remaining sellers Snickers, Twix and Three Musketeers and they are also sold in big sizes here. I used to love Mars bars, back then they were made with almonds, or chocolate with caramel or nugat ( glucose ). You're having the same problem like here in the US, The Govt. want to tell you how to stay healthy -
- cont. and force companies and corporations to sell smaller portions or change products for health reasons. The same has happened to Mc Donalds, Burger King, and other fast food companies and candy companies alike. This is the NWO at work and will not stop until all freedoms are subdued.
Just watched your cadbury video and i'm amazed at how much you whine about food downsizing that's LEGALLY DONE.......as if it was done in some back alley with a guy in a black trenchcoat or something. Seriously though, as I said in the cadbury vid comments they haven't cheated anybody as long as they list the new weight on the packaging.....legally this is ALL they have to do, so stop complaining already. Either buy it or buy other products but stop acting like it's a big deal or that you're..
....going to effect a big change because most likely you won't. Now i'm not saying some change is never going to happen on the corporate front or that it's a bad thing...just that it's not very likely given the current system of doing things.
Also btw to any who are gonna boycott: I(and other consumers) will be sure to buy a bar to replace every one you guys don't buy so good luck trying to boycott....lolololol.
if the price came down FINE but they are basically playing the 'healthier' card to make more money. what company gives a fuck about health when they are rolling in money, they make sugar treats, if they were worried about health they would sell vegetables.
This was very interesting and I agree that the reduction was done mainly in the interest of profit rather than comsumers' health but I will say that years back, before they changed the recipe of Mars from the heavier filling consistency {which I in fact preferred} I tended to find them a little too much to eat in one go. This didn't matter if I was at home, I'd just leave a bit in the fridge for later. As they've made Mars more poncified and MilkyWayish light nowadays, we need more g, not less !
From Wikipedia: (Mars Bar) In May 2007 Mars UK announced that Mars bars, along with many of their other products such as Snickers, Maltesers, Minstrels and Twix would no longer be suitable for vegetarians, Muslims and Hindus because of the introduction of rennet, a chemical sourced from calves’ stomachs used in the production of whey. Masterfoods confirmed that many other products such as Easter eggs and ice cream would also be affected.
@manuelsvids Sorry Leokim - he's 18, yet he writes like a retard. I'd continue on but it's the special Olympics dictum - racing against the handicapped means even if you win, you still lose.
interesting that you still have the old style bars.
the mars bar i have on front of me (and soon in my belly :)) has a different (modernised) Mars font. plus there's nothing where your bars have the weight printed on them. they actually moved the weight indication over to the other side under the flip-over part where the best before date is... what a ripoff..
I've noticed the big pouches of sweets that you get at the movies and in asda and things. They seem really full of sweets, and then when you open it, you find most of the top portion is.. well.. air.
thanks for posting this video. these companies are being twats as they continue to fool us and yet we dont even notice these changes. Its bad for all of us.
it just suddenly dawned on me how much I loved the older thick mars bars, casual consumer but still ot happy with this ate one almost every day from year 7-12 lately not to much but still dig them, i often have them late at night or while drinking
Just another rip off by a big corporate giant, just like Cadburys. As if they have consumer health concerns. lol.!!!!. They have company profit concerns. Maybe if they reduced the price as well as the portion we might believe them!!!!!.
@theborge442 its been admitted that its to reduce costs, i dont think mars are to involved in globalisation and because they do things authentically costs are associated
Ugh - this is ridiculous. Another thing we're getting ripped off for. And then for the company to have the Audacity to say, "we're doing this for the people!" is even more frustrating.
Nobody said you are ignorant. On the contrary, they posted this video to show you what the word cheating means. Aka, they sell you the same product, on the same price, but only the size changes. Just think what will happen if you buy food that is 20 grams less. This is where it begins: 7 grams less, and before you know it , you will be left with no food at all. Just think about it.
Right now I am producing a video about the shrinking Big Mac, and that is a classic example of how to downsize a product by a huge amount over a long period of time.
Cleverly disguised by packaging changes.
The Big Mac used to be a great meal, these days it is a joke.
@leokimvideo I'm very interested for you to show the Big Mac changes. To me a Big Mac is not a Big Mac, just more bread I thought. Add you as friend on youtube.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you must be a really fat fuck to make a video of a chocolate bar that is 7 grams less then it used to be, wake up to yourself you fucking dumb cunt if one mars bar doesn't make your appetite cringe then buy another one unless your a cheap ass fat fuck piece of shit
I stopped buyin them, some places in scotland charge 57p-60p sometimes higher. The companys know that kids and adults will aways buy there product ie a pick me up after work, something to keep the kids quite(we all remember goin to the shop and gettin a sweet for the walk home), or just for a snack. They didn't need to raise the prices or shrink the produce.
Ha, ha, funny. It is only 7 grams difference. Not a big deal. The caloreis stayes the same. I became really fat from eating too much chocolate, so it is not healthy as well. Well , do they sell them at the same price? Because if they do it is called cheating!!!! And this is not fine.
Do you eat many of those mini bars? Well have a nice christmas, and boxing day as well!!! God day kind-heartened people.
Propaganda is the number one product of many 'First World' countries. The guise is always coming at the consumer as either 'healthy' or 'safety' conscious. What is really happening is we are being sold a bunch of lower quality goods, lesser portions or overpriced items that only do one thing...Cost more. If any government was really worried about your safety, you would have free medical care, free transportation and free 'healthy' food distribution outlets. In the end its all marketing hype.
Tody I Noticed my Doritoes here in ausralia were only 45Grams And the bag was only like 1/3 Full First pack in like a year but i remember them been alot more maybe around 60? any 1 confirm this?
If the cost doesn't scale then you can bet this is all about profit maximizing and not anything at all to do with the transparent "health" excuse offered.
i work at woolies, and i noticed that about 6 monnths ago, i was horrified, they tried to cover it up by wraping them in card paper instead of regular paper! BASTARDS!
oh of course not, im sorry if i offended its just that in AUS we need our products to ship out better as our ecomomy is doing better than others as our dollar is now worth (at the minute) around 93c per American dollar and as such no one wants to buy our products...man money can piss me off sometimes!
BTW while we are on the downsize subject...Who here agrees that the current BIG MAC should be renamed NOT-SO BIG MAC!!!??? Bloody hell i remember few years back when you could actually be full after eating just one of them...NOW it seems you have to have a couple to do the trick [no im not a big preson FYI]
Are you really have a cry over 7 grams less fat on your body? I bet you are a fatty

I've noticed the big pouches of sweets that you get at the movies and in asda and things. They seem really full of sweets, and then when you open it, you find most of the top portion is.. well.. air.

Is this really a big deal?
It's reducing your sugar/fat intake...
I may be wrong idk, but really it's not that big of a change.
Why make a big deal out of it? it's still chocolate, and probably doesn't make such a difference..

Just another rip off by a big corporate giant, just like Cadburys. As if they have consumer health concerns. lol.!!!!. They have company profit concerns. Maybe if they reduced the price as well as the portion we might believe them!!!!!.

Ugh - this is ridiculous. Another thing we're getting ripped off for. And then for the company to have the Audacity to say, "we're doing this for the people!" is even more frustrating.

Nobody said you are ignorant. On the contrary, they posted this video to show you what the word cheating means. Aka, they sell you the same product, on the same price, but only the size changes. Just think what will happen if you buy food that is 20 grams less. This is where it begins: 7 grams less, and before you know it , you will be left with no food at all. Just think about it.

Right now I am producing a video about the shrinking Big Mac, and that is a classic example of how to downsize a product by a huge amount over a long period of time.
Cleverly disguised by packaging changes.
The Big Mac used to be a great meal, these days it is a joke.

@leokimvideo I'm very interested for you to show the Big Mac changes. To me a Big Mac is not a Big Mac, just more bread I thought. Add you as friend on youtube.

you must be a really fat fuck to make a video of a chocolate bar that is 7 grams less then it used to be, wake up to yourself you fucking dumb cunt if one mars bar doesn't make your appetite cringe then buy another one unless your a cheap ass fat fuck piece of shit
aznpopcorn369 2 years ago
I stopped buyin them, some places in scotland charge 57p-60p sometimes higher. The companys know that kids and adults will aways buy there product ie a pick me up after work, something to keep the kids quite(we all remember goin to the shop and gettin a sweet for the walk home), or just for a snack. They didn't need to raise the prices or shrink the produce.

80sOldSkool 2 years ago
Ha, ha, funny. It is only 7 grams difference. Not a big deal. The caloreis stayes the same. I became really fat from eating too much chocolate, so it is not healthy as well. Well , do they sell them at the same price? Because if they do it is called cheating!!!! And this is not fine.
Do you eat many of those mini bars? Well have a nice christmas, and boxing day as well!!! God day kind-heartened people.

Propaganda is the number one product of many 'First World' countries. The guise is always coming at the consumer as either 'healthy' or 'safety' conscious. What is really happening is we are being sold a bunch of lower quality goods, lesser portions or overpriced items that only do one thing...Cost more. If any government was really worried about your safety, you would have free medical care, free transportation and free 'healthy' food distribution outlets. In the end its all marketing hype.
