How on Earth is a Candy Bar 3 1/2 Servings?

Am I wrong to think that a candy bar is a single serving? I think they invent serving sizes so as to misrepresent the calories and other nutrients You glance at the label indicating 150 calories and you assume that is for the whole bar, but , it’s actually triple that amount Don’t you think this is deceptive?

I never really thought about about it as I’m not a candy bar person.

I do agree that it's misleading and would never think that was a 3 & 1/2 servings. I would also want to know who got shorted by being the 1/2 serving person!!

I haven’t purchased a candy bar in years now. I see them in the checkout lanes and am shocked at the big prices for them. I know many things are misleading concerning calories. You know those big big muffins that Walmart and other grocery stores sell? They give the calorie count on the packaging. People often don’t even realize that they are saying the calorie count for a single serving and a serving is half of the muffin, not the entire thing. Many things are misleading to get people to buy them.

Maybe it is. It takes for me a few weeks until I can consume a bar of that size of chocolate.
