Did they bother to shrink the packaging? or was it stealth?
Not to be a Debbie but did they not always have 5?

Doing you a favour as cadbury tastes like @rseCadbury brunch bars, was 6 now down to 5 per box
But why do you buy that **** anyway?Cadbury brunch bars, was 6 now down to 5 per box
Really expensive, hyper processed, high calories but provides no substance food.
Get up five mins earlier and eat a proper breakfast
3x orange 3x lemon-lime: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/260122786
Contrast with: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/calippo-mini-orange-and-lime-5x400ml
Now there's a 50% chance you don't get 3 lemon-lime ones. Sort it out Rishi.
If they are still selling 6 packs that's kind of OK but I didn't realise.

Have these. Shared a pack with a friend. You can put your own drink in them. Had mine for about 4 years and had these most days when it was hot.
We can't all be supermarket detectives.
All your link shows that snack food is hyper processed. OMG
literally a surprise to no one.Who would have thought trash food like rusks are hyper processed?
A mini blender can be had for next to nothing.
There is a time and the placed for quick and easy solutions but they should be the exception and not the norm, the issue is they have become the norm.
Don’t get me wrong, I like snack food like the next person, they are literally designed to give you that dopamine hit. However, I’m under no illusion it has anything other than a negative impact on my diet. To the point that complaining that long life convenience foods are hyper processed is like complaining the sky is blue.
Stop feeding kids that trash (and they are trash empty calories with little substance) and it stops being a problem. There was a reason Jamie Oliver got a bee in his bonnet over school dinners.

It’s not quite that simple.
A can of soup is processed but generally speaking there isn’t much inherently wrong with it. Some have some ultra processed content but it’s usually small % of the product (E.g. ham in pea and ham soup).
A pot noodle is ultra processed and has little nutritional benefit.
Been adverts on radio all week pushing chicken pot noodle as a genuine meal choice, really boils my ****.
Kettle?

Why is most baby food orange in colour when it’s the most difficult stain to get out of?
