Dove Chocolate was the one who changed the design of the bag and reduced the amount of chocolate in the bag.  How raised the price?  Was it Wal-Mart?  Was it MARS (who owns Dove Chocolate)?  Was it a combination of both? 

No matter as a result consumption will be reduced from four pieces to around one or two daily.
