What's happening to me chocolate

[Tashyboy]

Toblerone, wider gaps, shrinking.
Maltesers, shrinking.
Bought a Terry's chocolate orange today, (well 2 ), there not solid no more, taste Rammel and shrinking.
So what's happening with me chocolate vice. Everything's shrinking. It's Rammel.

Mfrs think we will only spend so much on chocolate. To keep the prices down they are cutting down on the better ingredients and shrinking the bar. That way the bar still costs pretty much the same as it did a year or two ago. Personally I'd rather keep the flavour and size and pay 5p more but clearly I'm in the minority as far as the mfrs are concerned. Worrying times for chocolate lovers.

If this carries on al look anorexic.

Greggs changed the recipe on my favourite Belgian bun. I emailed a complaint but they said it was about reducing sugar content. I did suggest that if people were worried about sugar content then they wouldn't be shovelling big iced buns in their mush. The person at greggs accepted my point but I wasn't going to win. Sad times Tashy, sad times.

(I hope they don't mess with maltesers, I love those things)

Maltesers, they have already said You will Get less for more £. Me and Missis T polished off a pound box from home bargains last night.

Good old home bargains. They have just opened a new one in my town. As long as they are selling them it's okay if they reduce the packet size. Cheap enough to get multi packs or two grab bags from there. I always fill up at HB before a cinema trip 😁

How has everything got so expensive? Wife complained about her slab of chocolate last night getting thinner... first time in years we have done slabs. I like a galaxy but had to buy 2 to get them for a quid ... missus doesn't know the 2nd is in the glove box of my car 😄

Yorkie bars are the same, used to be six bits with each individual letter on them now there's five with "yorkie" written on each one.

The ones I'm currently buying every week for Christmas, and then eating, from B+M for a quid are. Solid that is.

Yorke bars are so small now, truck driver's wives can eat them.
