So the man that refills our machine is not long gone.

Every few weeks he (or the company he works for) decide to change some things, usually they take out something that everyone likes and replaces it with something ****.
Anyway, I go to the machine to see what's possibly new and to my delight I see none other than JOHNNY'S ONION RINGS!

I thought to myself "Woo, I loved those, what a blast from the past". As I reach into my pocket for a 10 pence piece ready to buy a packet of these delicious crisps, I take a look at the price tag and to my horror I see...

30P!!!

what the **** is going on here? I should be getting 3 packets for this price!!

It doesn't stop there folks, on the packet it reads "Free from artificial colourings and preservative" - things just keep getting worse.

I open the packet to find small corn rings that were half the size I remember, I am in near tears as I take a few and pop them into my mouth, a distinct lack of johnny's onion taste compared to what used to be, and before I could actually chew or swallow these pathetic little corn snacks they practically disolve in my saliva they are that light.

So ladies and gentlemen that is my rant over for today, the UK are really taking this VAT increase seriously... 10p crisps for 30p, whats next?!
 
Are you sure you arent bigger than you used to be (ie a kid when you used to have them) as things always seem to be smaller than you remember them as you grow up?
 
Growing up Hubba Bubba was 10p a pack. It's now more like 30p.
Dairy Milks used to be 35p, now more like 70p.
Bottle of coke then 60p, now in cinemas you can pay £2 (if you do you're a moron).
Cigs - £1.09 for 10 B&H, now what £3.50?

Prices go up, religiously.
 
I know inflation causes prices to go up

BUT 10P CRISPS SHOULD ALWAYS BE 10P CRISPS!!

Just like penny sweets, how would you feel if you saw a penny sweet for 5p?!

Click to expand...

How would you feel if your profit margins were decreasing over time, just because some guy wants his crisps the same price? :p
 
That's nothing! Our Can machine at work charges 75p a can, and when the can comes out it has "50p" printed on the side. Robbing gits!!!
