Eighty-nine cents in 1971? Where the fuck did you live? I paid a quarter for my first candy bar in 1980...
No, no they weren't...what kind of gaslighting are you engaged in? Shrinkflation didn't really start in the States until the 2000's...in fact, all conversations about our food was that our portions were too large, and they used that as a cover for rising obesity rates...

Because decreasing portion sizes (the actual candy bar) to maintain the same price is what "shrinkflation" is...Eighty-nine cents for a candy bar in 1971 never happened, anywhere in America...my link shows that...yer lying, for some reason, and it's really weird...
