    It doesn’t matter if it’s KitKat, Twix, coffee crisp, aero or mars … they almost all taste the same amount of sugar sweetness and hardly any chocolate flavor.

    All brand name bars seem to feel/taste kind of waxy, at least the ones I’ve tried again lately.

    Also, it seems like there is more air? I don’t know what the weight used to be, but things like Reese’s Peanut butter cups seem to be less dense than I remember.

      shrinkflation, or cheapflation, they use the air them to make them look fuller. sometimes you can taste the cheaper ingredients too, plus they use more sugar or a sweetner to hide how bad it taste.
