The Mystery of the Shrinking Food Bits

And if it wasn't for you meddling kids, they woulda gotten away with it!

*ahem*

Last night, I bought some muesli bars. Hadn't done so for years, thought I may as well. Besides, who can resist crunchy nut crumble oaty goodness?!

Anyways, I was up early this morning (shock, horror!) and decided to have one of these muesli bars for breakfast. So I opened the wrapper. Surely there was a muesli bar lurking somewhere inside it? Ohhh, naughty little muesli bar! (with emphasis on the little) Hiding away down in the bottom corner of the wrapper like that...

It was TINY!

Of course they always say it's not the size that counts but the way it tastes. But AAAARRGHHH! It just seems crazy to have tiny muesli bars we pay more for than before when they appear to be about half the size or less than they were. Maybe the name should now be measly bars.
