Those sneaky CCC companies...

I have to have, at least, one box of chocolate covered cherries at Christmas time. I know they're bad for me, blah, blah, blah, but I love them.
There used to be 16 candies in each box - 8 on the top layer, 8 on the bottom. Then, years ago, they cut it down to 12. The box I just bought only had 10 and the candies, themselves, were smaller. But, get this: They cost twice as much! I've noticed this trend in all kinds of products everywhere. It's a sign of the economic times.
Is it just me, or is there something sexual about this candy photo?
