I remember when The Quality Street tin was a tin and much bigger than its plastic equivalent.

That was suggested on the radio recently and apparently rather than increase the price they reduce the size of the containers,. Now down to under 800gm from the original tins of 1.5kg ish. This i happening with most chocolate brands and many biscuits.

I'm kinda partial to Marathon / Snickers over the years, and have noticed the slight reduction in size.
As if the customer would ever notice

Nestle are one of the most unethical companies on the planet (Google it) so it's hardly surprising BG.

Jaffa Cakes was highlighted and I also noticed my favourites Wagon Wheels have got smaller per wheel. OT I didnt realize that United Biscuits (McVitie etc) is now owned by a company in Turkey.

My wife likes the green triangles and many moons ago ( before you could buy individual varieties ) I spent quiet a while going through the Woolies pick and mix picking out just the green triangles. That earned me a good couple of months worth of Brownie points.

Cadbury's chocolate has changed in taste, since they were taken over by Kraft. It seems almost oily now.

Profits before product quality. We were warned Kraft would meddle with the recipe for Cadburys and they were correct.

Th purple one, as seen by the poll which is why I never get one!

That apparently is due to USA manufacturing regulations

The purple one was brought out with its own line at one stage. The result of this poll is a given.

Interesting fact about Turkish ownership. I didn't know either. Pladis.

Whatever happened to the coffee cream?

 

[dazzer6666]

Any selection without a coffee cream can **** off. Always a joy visiting the inlaws at Christmas because the whole family there hated them. Always turned up to a nice pile of the coffee delights waiting for me.

Now have to get separate bags of coffee creams at Thorntons.

Slightly OT it was reported in the press that the firm that makes Thorntons Easter Eggs also make them with the same recipe for Aldis.

In the same way that all custard creams, bourbons etc. you buy are made by the aforementioned United Biscuits.
