When the nutrition facts labels came out, a lot of candy companies took that as an opportunity to make smaller sized candies, both to make it look less unhealthy, and to help margins

Agreed. And while inflation itself seems to be tapering off, this article fails to address the SHRINK part of shrinkflation, and that we’re still getting smaller quantities of things when we buy them

They’re available year round from AM/PM (aka Arco) gas stations, with a condiment bar to customize as one sees fit (altho, the quality of said condiment bar seems to vary WILDLY from location to location).

Grapefruit/sugar sludge was amazing. I was just stoked to be able to use those weird knives to cut out the grapefruit pieces 

Maybe not, but I might ask you to wash your hands before we shake 😉
