You're right it is smaller. The Terry's Chocolate Orange on shop shelves this Christmas weighs 12g less than it did this time last year. That's a decrease in size of 8% not as big a cut as when the product lost 10% of its mass in 2016, but a further whittling away of a favourite Christmas treat. Prices have been going up too, although it's been a series of increases.

The Halloween season is bringing more than ghosts and goblins this year for many, rising candy prices are the real scare. Stocking up on Halloween supplies in Toronto's Golden Triangle neighbourhood, a popular East York spot for trick-or-treaters, Shannon Crookston said she had to take a different approach this year because of rising costs. We used to do the full-size chocolate bars every year, Crookston said. But just given the cost, unfortunately, that wasn't an option anymore, so we've kind of had to do the treat size instead.
