      Yet the interesting thing. Capitalistic competition dose not provide for other companies selling cheaper chocolate bars.

      Sorta like all the competitive advantages of capitalism are nothing but long believed myths.

      At least without some very strong regulations to prevent companies maker missing profit seeking.
