| In 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. | |
