Ever since they went metric.....

 

[brightspark]

[brightspark]

its the new metric size the price went up and the size went down and when the half pence was discontinued it was put on the price not down

The size and price of freddos and mars bars are actually used to measure the rate of inflation in some rather high economic circles.

I think there's some regulation which says snack foods have to be under 200 calories, I've heard that a couple of times but never looked into it so can't say for sure. Doesn't bother me really, just have two. I've already finished a box of After Eights this week and just cracked open a second Chocolate Orange. It's bulking season...

Like Tesco's selling packs of bacon with 7 rashers in!
Tassimo coffee pods are now coming in packs of 7 instead of 8!
Toblerone tried this a few years ago buy massively reducing the size of the bars, a backlash followed and I've never bought them since.
Vote with your stomachs guys!

Tesco 4 pack of Granola biscuits from the bakery had a label on the packaging boasting how they’d reduced the packaging by 30% to be kinder to environment. Opened the packet up to find they’d shrunk the contents by 30% too to be kinder to my waistline and their profits.

Shrinkflation

Someone was posting photos of tins of tuna the other day. Tin size even stayed the same but the percentage fish to brine was happily sliding with inflation.

You just need a wagon with a twin wheel set up ,,,, buy two and eat them both as a twin wheel sandwich ...

I used to think all sweets and treats were getting smaller till someone pointed out i was getting bigger

 

[fizzy]

I remember when they introduced the giant mars bars and double sized Boosts and Twixes. Press had a field day whinging about unhealthy eating etc. In a stroke of genius some clever marketing dept came up with the duo. Just split it into 2. Media went quiet then

It's called a stig in wheels now so the BBC get a cut of the sale price also
