The World's Finest chocolate bars...what's the deal? I think they changed the recipe or something because they don't taste the same. Anyone else notice that?
People at work sell for their kids and bring in the whole case. I buy one of each variety (okay really like three or four of each) but I feel like last year, they tasted different.
I mean I'll still eat them. They're just not the same.

Spinoff to the fundraiser threads
I feel they haven't been the same for quite a few years...I loved those bars! I sold them as a kid, and they are completely different now! No joke, they were 4 times the thickness when I sold them, and there was only one flavor, milk chocolate with almonds. But that being said, the rare occasions I see someone selling them, I buy like 10!!!!

Re: Spinoff to the fundraiser threads
They were definitely thicker back in the day but I still love them. In fact I saw a lady in my lobby yesterday carrying a box and I almost tackled her to buy some  OMG the almond ones

They are definitely thinner but they still cost $1. I sold them over 25 years ago for the same price. I love the almond ones too.

They are still good but they definitely aren't the same - they were thicker in the past and were to die for - now I think they are just good.
I guess they had to do something since they haven't raised the price in over 30 years lol.

Re: Spinoff to the fundraiser threads
Am I imagining this or did they have one with crisped rice in it? Like a Krackel bar?
Or was it just plain or almond?

They still make the rice ones!
And yeah, they used to be way thicker! I forgot about that.
I do love that they're only a buck. So I can buy like 20 of them and feel like a philanthropist.

Definitely, this is probably a "chocolate flavored" candy bar as opposed to real chocolate

YES!!! When we were kids they were SO thick, now they are the thinnest little bars!! I've bought direct from them a few times, sometimes they were yummy but once or twice I had a batch that tasted really crappy. Seems to be hit or miss.

Re: Spinoff to the fundraiser threads
This is disappointing to hear.
I'd rather they upped the price to $2 a bar and kept the quality.
I'd still buy it!!

I like this line of thinking! But if I keep seeing people selling them, I'm going to be a philanthropist with a fat A$$!

Yes! They have gotten thinner and not as good as I remeber they used to be when I was a kid. Doesn't stop me from eating a case though lol. I can't believe they're still $1. But I agree with Nell, I'd rather they kept them the same as the old days but upped the price to keep up with inflation. Don't mess with a good thing!
Side note: do they still have the McDonald's coupon inside the wrapper? Man those bars were the best! Awesome chocolae AND discount burgers lol.

They have $2.00 bars they are much bigger
The $1.00 bars are smaller
It matters which ones the people fundraising choose to sell

Yes! Not sure if we sold the same brand in high school but I always just ate them all myself. I'd raid my dad's quarter stash and eat them systematically. All the caramel first,then all the crispy rice,then almond,then plain milk chocolate. Yet somehow I was a scrawny string bean. How I miss those days!

I haven't had one in years, are they really that much smaller?! I think I need a taste test.
And to the pp who mentioned the smell of the office at chocolate time- divine!
