I can’t argue with you there. I actually had a similar thought when I wrote the story but it wasn’t anywhere near Halloween so I didn’t have the ability to actually compare nutrition information and prices. Maybe I’ll do a follow-up this year.

The thing that makes me pretty mad is that these companies (like Mars, Hersheys, etc) are willing to portion control and sell the small portions for some pretty decently normal prices. In the USA its called “Halloween Candy” . Around Halloween, the big companies put everything into tiny packages so it can be handed out to kids trick-or-treating. The portions arn’t that different than 100 cal snack portions. Total BS. One just costs a crapload more, because its being packaged as “Diet food”.
Crap like this ruins the world. *sigh*
