In a recent State of the Union address, President Biden decided to take a detour from discussing actual, important matters to take a swing at a candy bar. Yes, you heard that right – a candy bar! Biden claims that Snickers bars are being sold with “10 percent fewer Snickers in it,” which honestly just sounds like a bad math problem. But hey, we’re used to Biden’s confusing statements by now, aren’t we?
Instead of focusing on the real issues at hand, like the border crisis or inflation rates skyrocketing faster than a NASA rocket, Biden chose to pick a fight with a Snickers bar. Classic misdirection, Joe. His attempt to blame “greedy corporations” for his own failures is not only ridiculous but also sets a dangerous precedent of government interference in the free market. Let the companies do their thing, Joe. Stay out of their candy business!
Did Biden Tell a Lie About Candy? Claim About Snickers Shrinkflation Is Getting Smacked Down by Company https://t.co/mnHHLNSUSD

But wait, there’s more! Snickers, the candy company at the center of Biden’s scrutiny, fired back at the President, stating that they have not reduced the size of their bars in the U.S., despite facing challenges like inflation and material costs spikes (thanks, Biden). They even went as far as to call out Biden for spreading falsehoods about their product. Looks like the candy company isn’t taking any of Biden’s nonsense lying down. You go, Snickers!
CNN commentator Scott Jennings didn’t hold back either, accusing Biden of “slandering a candy bar.” And you know what? He’s not wrong. When the President of the United States starts picking fights with confectionery treats, you know things have gone off the rails. It’s reassuring to see a company like Snickers stand up for themselves against the president’s misleading claims.
In conclusion, it’s absurd that in the midst of serious issues plaguing the country, the leader of the free world is using precious airtime to spew nonsense about candy bars. It’s time for Biden to focus on real solutions, not fabricated candy controversies. Let the Snickers bars be, Joe. Let them be.
