Read the original CA News story: https://confidentialaccess.by/news/mars-bar-shrinkflation-exposed-in-hoarders-time-capsule Original article published: 10 August 2026. This edition preserves the complete original archived narration. References to current events and timing belong to that dated report. The complete CA Mars shrinkflation archive, with original contextual illustrations, captions and a sourced weight comparison. Original 10 August 2026 narration is preserved. BBC’s report, updated 11 August, gives 62.5g for Victoria Gordon’s old bar, rather than the narrated 65g. The current Mars UK single-bar listing confirms 40g. The historical weight is attributed to BBC; this edition has not weighed the find or read that figure from a visible wrapper label. Its mass graphic uses a zero baseline: 40g is 22.5g, or 36%, below 62.5g. This is a calculated mass comparison, not physical length, volume, price or purchasing-power change. The narrated 14cm and 9.5cm measurements and £1.20 retail price have not been independently verified; prices and product formats vary. BBC records a manufacturer response citing consumer demand and production costs. The narration’s corporate reassurance, purported CA exchange, measuring shop staff and other exaggerated reactions are satirical commentary, not verified company quotations, interviews or consumer-survey findings. The archive’s 700,000-user claim is unverified, and views do not establish unique people. New cupboard, chocolate and shop images are generic illustrations, not original discovery footage or measured Mars samples. The original CA article card contains dramatized shoppers and wrappers. The existing portrait Short is preserved; its ruler and packaging labels are not used as evidence in this landscape edition. Original AI-generated contextual B-roll with gentle camera movement, a source-attributed animated mass comparison, factual cards and synchronized captions, combined with the corresponding CA article artwork. The illustrations are editorial context, not verified footage of the events. The thumbnail uses the original archived CA article card.
