Is the $140B Chocolate Market on the Brink of Extinction?

Did the title on Washington Post's website change? I see "Chocolate is on its way out. Why Halloween is about gummy candy now." The article doesn't mention $140B (or 140) anywhere.

Rising cocoa prices and changes in consumer preference are pushing candy makers to introduce new, "chocolate-free" options.

According to Nielsen IQ, the average unit price for chocolate has jumped 40% since 2020. Meanwhile, fruit and sour candies are cheaper to make and experiment with.
