why are food products made so much smaller than they used to be
like for example; chocolate bars and weetabix cereal biscuits, they're made a lot smaller now...when i grew up during the 80s they were a lot bigger.

Back in the 1950s / '60s all candy bars were what they consider today as Giant size bars / maybe a tad larger and they were 5 cents. By the late 1960s they were 10 cents. Now candy bars are almost half the size that they were originally. The late 1970s the bars began to shrink.
Potato chips, Dentler was the chip factory in my area - the bags were more than double in size and fuller for a nickel. The early 1970s the bags began to shrink.
Canned tuna is about half the size it used to be - Campbell's soup - Nestle's Quick - even the size of canned goods went down a bit and some boxed and packaged cookies.
Bar bath soap - when washing powder was still in boxes they began to shrink.
It's about greed they know people buys their products they want more money and the way to do that is shrink the size of the product and increase the cost. And there is nothing that we can do about it other than not buying the product.
