The Hidden Reason Pop-Tarts, Eggo, and M&M's Prices Are About to Rise - More Perfect Union

[TexasTowelie]

Another mega-merger would make food even more expensive. Two of the largest snack makers—Mars and Kellanova—are planning a $36 billion merger. This could drive up the price of M&Ms, Snickers, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-Its, Eggo, pet food and hundreds of other products.

2. No one should be eating this

ulta-processed food anyways. But if you must, I feel your pain.

3. Insanity. 6oz bag o chips (a quarter of a tater) 3.95 around here, 8 bucks for "Family Size" which is like 14-18oz's

Maybe a whole tater. I don't eat 99.9% of this shit but I do like a good BBQ potato chip every now and then (my cardiologist doesn't lol).
I've told my wife for 15 years we need to get in the chip and dog treat business, shits insanely priced for nothing.

BTW, feeding any dog (or cat) rawhide or ground wheat treats (they're usually allergic to the wheat) is cruel. You're killing them. Go find a bag o soup bones at a butcher shop and either have them cut them or slap them on your cheap Harbor Freight chop saw you only used once and cut femur bones up (thats what I do) lol. 2 inch thick slice of beef femur bone costs me about 2 bucks. Thats half the price of any store bought treats, especially decent ones, and the bone is really good for them. You can grind up scraps in your grinder or food processor, stuff the used bones with them, toss them into the freezer. Dogs love them. When they're worn out drill some holes in them and string them up, they make great windchimes lol
