Biden Calls Out Snickers for 'Shrinkflation,' Company Denies Reducing Candy Bar Size

President Biden claimed in his State of the Union address that Snickers candy bars contain 10% less product than before but cost the same.

Mars, the manufacturer of Snickers, denied that it has reduced the size of Snickers candy bars sold in the US.

Mars said it continues to face high costs but works to absorb those costs rather than raise prices.

A Reddit user pointed out a Snickers bar from the 1980s was over 3 times bigger than one purchased recently, showing significant "shrinkflation."

Companies like Oreo and Nature's Path have also been accused of quietly shrinking product sizes while keeping prices the same, disappointing consumers.
