I'm writing to you in regard to your recent decision to stop producing king sized bars of chocolate.

From a person that has a retirement plan that most likely has your stock in my portfolio, I have to say: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?
If you had announced that you were ceasing the production of the king sized bars because people are more health conscious and aren't buying as many, therefore it is not profitable to make them anymore, I'd applaud your shrewd business savvy. But your excuse for discontinuing them is because you claim that "Mars has a broad-based commitment to health and nutrition, and this includes a number of global initiatives," HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!! Seriously? YOU MAKE CANDY!!!
You aren't a health department.
You aren't in the business to make people healthy
You make chocolate, good chocolate, tasty chocolate, and to keep your consumers and share holders happy
AND NONE OF US ARE HAPPY!
Make good candy, make good profits, and flourish, because when it's time to bail your sorry asses out, there won't be any money left, and we’ll all be eating Hershey's.
We had not known that was their excuse/reason for the smaller bars. How ridiculous, really. Great post. (says Mom: we cats don't actually ever get to have chocolate).
ReplyDeletePffft. Amazing how the chocolate bars get smaller and yet cost more. I've noticed it over the past few years too.
ReplyDeletep.s. the word verification thingy? The new version is a PAIN IN THE ASS. Just so you know.
