Aaaaakshully
boring sweet stats:

They're not getting smaller. There was a prog about sweets not long ago. They did get a bit smaller a few years ago, to fit in with metric measurements, but apart from that, they're the same. Also lots of other sweets have got much bigger - like mars, Snickers etc etc.

/end of boring sweet stats

They would like you to think that it's all down
to growing up and the biscuit looking disproportional but they really are smaller.
