    How big are they? There is zero indication that I can see.

    I just looked up the prices for a chocolate bar here in Denmark, The price for a 40-50g chocolate bar is around $2 USD in supermarkets.
    We don’t have the ones OP posted, but the price for a 50g Mars bar is $2.20 USD. And that price includes 25% VAT.
    Without VAT it’s $1.84 USD.

    So the price in the image seems insane.

      They’re about the largest ones you can buy lol. It’s a super king sized that is two full sized bars in the package. Roughly 150g total, and 720kcal for the whole thing.

      This particular store is also inflated. The same thing is $3.29 at the store by me.

        Yes I thought something must be off.
        I guess OP was infuriated about the wildly inflated price at this shop.
        Not about prices in general.

        But that is one oversized bar. 😋

            No and he doesn’t even write the name of the supermarket.
            Which is the real infuriating thing here IMO.

              I’m willing to bet not even a super market. Probably some overpriced gas station/quick stop kind of place. Those are the ones that tend to inflate the prices like this, catching people getting gas that want a quick snack.
