The Great Cadbury Egg Conspiracy!
Yes! They ARE smaller this year! On Conan O'Brian last night, BJ Novak (The Office) busted them. This is a very funny clip (7mins) It will probably be pulled soon. Cadbury is one of O'Brian's sponsors.

against how food manufacturers seem to try to sneakily pull this kind of thing off all of the time and I like Cadbury eggs, I do think they needed to be a tad smaller. Way to rich and gooey for me!

4. Most candy has gotten smaller in the last few years.
The 7-ounce big-ass Herhsey bars I use in my milk chocolate cake recipe are now 5-ounce not-so-big-ass candy bars.

Many other foods are smaller, too. Manufacturers and retailers keep prices the same, but give you less product.
