Snickers reckon "bigger" doesn't mean "heavier"... HUH??

If the bar is the same weight/volume, then the bar is not bigger. Merely playing around with the ratios of the height,width and length of the bar does not make for a 'bigger' bar. They should be reported to the relevant authorities for further investigation."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

I guess it could be bigger in volume but I struggle to imagine how they would achieve this without adding anything to the weight?!
I think it's fair to assume that most people would expect to be getting more chocolate etc in a 'bigger bar'... and it seems that's what they want people to think, else why mention it?!By replying to this post you are agreeing to my Terms and Conditions which state that I am correct0 -

Simple. By decreasing the density. As has already been suggested just by simply changing the ingredient mixture/ratio."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

If you saw "bigger" on a pack, wouldn't you assume it meant greater quantity, i.e. increased in weight?
I would have probably questioned this for a minute after stuffing it into my mouth. Then I would forget about it for a couple days, then ask my DH at a random moment, his opinion. Then I'd forget about it completely.0 -

And what was wrong with "Opal Fruits". And slightly off topic I thought "Cif" was a really ridiculous name compared to "Jif"."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

Wasn't that changed because some Europeans (not us obviously
) can't pronounce the letter J? 0
