Shrinkflation at it’s finest. Top box was bought this week, the middle one was last year and the last one is older again. All €5.

  1. You can bulk buy the sweets from Amazon and refill the tubs.

  2. Wait until you bite into this years “crunchie” in the heroes box 😭😭😭

  3. Can’t wait till I can get a box that can fit in my pocket

  4. I had a toffee crisp today

    Couldn’t get over how small it’s after getting.

    I wasn’t completely satisfied

  6. In fairness Celebrations are doing good work in saving the NHS a few £££ in the years to come.

  7. You either die a Miniature Hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a Miniature Villain.

  8. Some brands are going the other way. Lindt selection box is the heaviest it’s been!

  9. Went in to the shop today to buy a Lion Bar, it was so small it’s now called a Cub Bar.

  10. Have you seen the size of the curly wurly nowadays. You’ll need a magnifying glass.

  11. Fredo is an abomination

    I’m just happy Taz didn’t live long enough to see what happened

  12. If the price had gone up and the weight stayed the same, someone else would have been mad about it

  13. I’ve a quality street in the shed I used to store things that was just shy of 1kg and is an actual tin. Must dig it out and check the sell by date.

    These were 3 for €10 in Tesco last week which was probably closer what they are worth.

  16. Why does the top one not include the weight including wrappers line ? I thought that was a legal requirement

  17. They look like frisbees this year why are we not rioting

  18. Dunnes Quality Street is 25 euro for just under 2kg tin, have more than doubled in price in 10 years.

  19. Maybe just stop buying shite chocolate, which isn’t even chocolate

  21. Curly wurly, Toffee Crisp, Yorkie, Moro, king size Snickers.

    These used to almost be meals unto themselves.

  22. Tesco mince pies appear to have halved in size. They’re tiny.

  24. The choc you do get is then full of palm oil.

    We’re getting fleeced left, right, and center.

  25. You should post the ingredients list of each tin.

    It’s not just the weight, paying more now for the same product would be fine, you might even accept that it’s a bit smaller now.

    But far inferior quality with the weight reduction and price increase, plus the fact that they moved to plastic and by now the plastic is probably weighing more than the sweets themselves (will test if someone gives me a tub this chrostmas) is just going way too far.

    I’d say that palm oil probably weighs more than cocoa butter too but that’s just a thought, more research needed!

  29. Where are the watch dogs? Why is the government on this ?

  31. Is it 550g including wrappers seeing as they don’t point out the difference anymore?

  32. I’m not buying any this year, the decrease in chocolate and edible content is one thing but the switch to plastic wrappers and the percentage of plastic per gram of edible is a fucking disgrace.

    I’m done with these. If pushed I’ll buy the paper boxes rather than the tubs but I’d rather buy something with less plastic and more supporting local businesses than UK non EU businesses.

    Who are basically ripping us off. It’s been bad for a couple of years now, but this year I’m finished with it.

  33. You won’t be putting on that much weight. You are welcome.
