Stop the press... **** just got real...

7 cookies less per pack.

Digestives ain't cookies.

Shrinkflation began with the financial crisis, not Brexit. It's how we're papering over the getting poorer thing.

But think of the health benefits, because everyone knows the only proper serving for biscuits is 'a packet'. McVities are doing us all a favour, honest.

Yep, I agree with you there

Doesn't bother me though because I shrank my spending long before they shrank their packet. Own brand all the way, because they taste worse and therefore I don't eat as many.

Ok, I eat just as many, but I eat them slower and with a grimace that's partly down to disappointment, not entirely self-loathing any more.

Lol!

How can anything be post Brexit? It hasn't happened yet.

Just an excuse to charge the same for less.

No-one buys Mcvities as a value item anyway, can just buy the supermarket own brand which tastes exactly the same.

Everything is Brexit's fault.

It took ages to de-ice my car this morning. Stupid brexit.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Meh, digestives are overrated. When it's chocolate Hobnobs post again and I will go full keyboard warrior.

Amen to that. I’ll provide pitchforks!

I have written a strongly worded letter to both my Local MP and to Her Britannic Majesty the Queen (I understand she likes the choccy ones) about this appalling affront to our sense of dignity and national pride.

In the words of Churchill about a similar shortage during WW2 - "We shall go on to the end. We shall dunk them in France, we shall dunk them on the seas and oceans, we shall dunk them with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Digestives, whatever the cost may be. We shall dunk them on the beaches, we shall dunk them on the landing grounds, we shall dunk them in the fields and in the streets, we shall dunk them in the hills; we shall never surrender our Digestives, not even the plain ones which, to be fair, aren't as good a nice Choccy one but still much better than that god awful Hob-Nob abomination!"

I thought the pound had got stronger recently?

I thought the pound had got stronger recently?

It did on the announcement that the Spanish and the Dutch governments hope for a soft brexit over a hard brexit but this packet change could be in the works for a while and i think everyone expects the pound to tank immediately post brexit regardless of what happens because we enter a new territory and no one likes uncertainty

 

[G-MAN2004]

They'll be absolutely outraged on that cesspit, UK hating subreddit r/UnitedKingdom.

I have never ate dog biscuits. Who in hell eats digestives

 

[rubberduck]

I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

It has, stupid Brexit

 

[NoobCannon]

Nasty biscuits anyway. As long as said they dont mess with choc hob nobs!

 

[Mobius 1]

Fox’s > McVities

Digestives are disgusting.

 

[HAz]

I browsed the subreddit, and couldn't see much vitriol for the UK. The comments about being outraged are quite funny though.

So what you're saying is that the pound exchange rate is basically defunct, and we need a biscuit rate instead. Will we get more Oreos to our Mcvities digestives?
