Cost of Living - Shrinkflation is speeding up at an alarming rate

its all a bit depressing but the only real answer is just not to bother with any of that stuff

have an expensive proper cake or something at the weekend and get it out of your system and just dont bother with the junk stuff the rest of the week

the winning calculation was cheap and cheerful

expensive and not cheerful = no deal

Just make your own cake at the weekend. You know what's in it then.

Dang.
What have I been eating then if it's barely considered chocolate at this point? lol

Mostly just fat. People don't realise how bad palm fat is. In it's original form it's fine, but then it's bright red and spicy. No use for cake and biscuits, so they bleach it and deoderise it. The cheap way is with solvents like hexane, some of which is left in the product.
 
I just had a bag of hoola hoops


There was about 9 less hoops in the bag than there would have been compared to about 5 years ago

I feel robbed.

its nothing like real swiss chocolate btw it's more of a Lindt clone and most Lindt stuff is for the international market not internal.

also in Switzerland most premium chocolate is dark, not milk.
over here the best you can get in normal shops seems to be Tony’s Chocolonely the everything bars are awesome but cost like £5
the plain ones kinda meh though.

Yes


Lindt and Toblerone are my two favourite chocolates
 
It's bloody criminal how small a pack of McVitie's plain chocolate digestives are now.
My only guilty pleasure and now they're around €2.50 for 266g. :'(

Yeah. I bought some in Costco the other day (don't think that's an OCUK competitor?) where you get I think 6 packs for about 9 quid.
 
I remember when I would be ashamed to pay more than £1 for a pack of chocolate hobnobs. These days you are looking at nearly 3 quid when they aren't on offer.
