I notice it a lot with plastic packaging. Everything is smaller, too. We need a magnifying glass to identify the wrapped candy bars we're giving for Halloween. (Exaggeration) Also, I snuck one yesterday. Is it my imagination, or do candy bars taste like crap now? My wife doesn't even need to hide it before Halloween.

Yes. They are definitely not as good. The odd time we get chocolate we go to a local shop that makes their own chocolates and candies. So much better, you eat it way less often and helps a local business.

To eat it EVEN less often, try this recipe. I used to make my own chocolate (before going carnivore/animal based). It's pretty good, with a definite coconut flavor. You can add things like peanuts/raisins. The chocolate bar molds can be purchased online.
In small metal bowl 50 g coconut oil
1/8 teaspoon salt 30 g cocoa powder 30 g dried milk powder (whole milk, Nido brand) 50 g powdered sugar
Melt coconut oil in a double boiler ( can also just put the metal bowl in a small pot filled with water, so the bowl is touching the boiling water)
In another bowl, measure out the rest of the ingredients, and mix well.
Stir the other ingredients into the melted coconut oil
Pour into chocolate bar molds
