Snickers Refutes Biden's 'Shrinkflation' Accusation

The candy manufacturer denies reducing its bar sizes, countering President Biden's claims of 'shrinkflation' in his State of the Union address.

President Biden accused Snickers of 'shrinkflation' during his State of the Union address, alleging the company reduced candy bar sizes while maintaining prices.
Mars, the manufacturer of Snickers, denied the accusations, stating they have not reduced the size of their candy bars in the U.S.
The term 'shrinkflation' is part of Biden's strategy to shift blame for higher prices onto corporations rather than his economic policies.
Critics argue that the president's accusations are unfounded and distract from the real issues driving inflation.
Despite the controversy, some consumers have noted a general trend of product size reduction across various brands over the years.
