Christmas 2024 seems long way away these cold January days. But before my neighbors (finally) take down their outside decorations, I wanted to write about how even Christmas candy is getting downsized in the face of rising ingredient costs these days.
My wife (or was it Santa?) gave me these marshmallow Snowmen in my Christmas stocking this year. They’re a regular item at our local Dollar Tree store.
When I opened them, though, I started thinking I must have been on the naughty list last year. You can see how much smaller the actual candy is than its wrapper. The box and wrapper give the impression of much more inside. Oh well, the calorie count is lower too I suppose.
Ho ho ho, merry downsizing will be my chant in Christmas 2025.
