I have just been ripped off badly

Ok, heres the deal, was out driving around town, as the actual sun was out and lovely and bright.

Anways, feeling like abit of chocoloate, so popped into nearest newsagent grabbed a flake and a toffee crisp, had toffee crisp got home and about to have the flake, but just as I was about to tear the wrapper I glanced at the price....

WTF?

Was at about 30p when I was at school.

So you've noticed this thing we call 'inflation'?

An alien concept, without a doubt.

Man, it makes me feel old to think about how long ago that slogan was around!

Almost as bad as the canteen at work 60P for a can of Coca-Cola, i wouldnt mind but i work for Asda and they still want to make a profit on our food.

Am I missing something or do the flakes of nowdays not taste at least 15p better than the flakes of old...

Gilly · 14 Feb 2006 at 15:20

Wow, I must be too young

That sounds like a great advert. Satisfyingly random.

"Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate, seems like chocolate never tasted before"

Or something like that...

Dairy Milk has changed, I was eating tonnes of it one point and iirc it tasted different from about 2001

cheets64 · 14 Feb 2006 at 15:27

I think its got more oil in it or more stronger tasting oil.
