Nice to see greed take a company down a notch

TL/DNR; Prices went up during covid's supply shortages when people were willing to overpay, but once that was over the company was getting drunk on the high profits and refused to bring the prices down. As people started pulling back they did everything they could think of (shrinkage, fake healthier options) but not what they should have done, lowering prices. Why? Because "our profits!". Now after they lost market share and Walmart was bumping them out of prime shelf space, they claim they realize how "affordability" is imporant to consumers.

No nimrod, your junk food is not worth the price you are asking for it.
