by Chris Fri Feb 17, 2012 2:10 pmIn a bid to reduce public consumption of calories and sodium, Mars (maker of Snickers and Twix) are doing away with king sized candy bars. Do you think this is necessary?

Fuck no. The way everything's priced the King sized ones are what it makes more sense to buy anyway. First they reduce 10 pack minis to 8 packs and now 6 packs for the same price, and now this. WTF is wrong with people?

I'm not a big candy bar eater though so I won't even notice but I don't think it's necessary. If people are worried about calories and sodium, they wouldn't bother having a candy bar at all.

I never eat a king or giant-size bar at once, neither does my husband (we split them), and I've never known anyone else to do that.
World's going mad.

Yeah, people will just buy two! Not sure if this is anything more than a marketing tool to get in the news. They will be back in production in a couple years.
