Baker's Chocolate is now a FOUR-ounce box?!

How annoying!  I remember when a half-gallon of ice cream was actually a  half-gallon. 

 

Uh-huh! There is a local creamery here, that does sell true half-gallons. It is awesome, but no-joke expensive.

I use Baker's Chocolate for lots of recipes. When I bought a pack last week, I couldn't believe it!! Why is no-one calling this exactly what it is???? ...INFLATION. It's been happening everywhere. When you have to spend the same amount for less product, it's the same as a price increase. It's inflation. It is due to the Federal Reserve Stimulus  policy that the current administration has been using to try and get us out of the recession. You just cannot pump 85 billion dollars per month into the economy without causing inflation. I fear that this is just the beginning. Hang on tight!

Or it's due to the cocoa shortage. http://www.nbcnews.com/business/warning-cocoa-shortage-rising-prices-threaten-chocolate-bars-8C11418435
