Well ye’d be moaning if it doubled in price as well
And you call yourselves capitalists
The Cath Kidston steel tin roses are pretty sweet this year.
Nice, the sowing kit is one of the tins
In fairness you’re picking them up for €3.50 now back then they were at least a tenner
What’s that Stalone movie where in the future people eat burgers made of rats, I’d say the deception was on par, prob another 50 years and people will be like wow there’s a single real chocolate, that’s loads, not eat it to fast in case you overdose.
Sure prices are going up, but manufacturers cut corners everywhere they can, palm oil, artificial sweeteners, lower wages and so on.
They don’t offer less for lower prices, they reduce amount, quality and give slightly smaller price.
Basically end buyer ends up absorbing all shite and 0 benefits.
That sewing tin is in good shape compared to the sewing tin we have
This has me nostalgic for a time that I don’t even remember.
In fairness could you imagine how sick of them you’d be if the big one was full looks too big.
The taste difference between the two is greater than the size difference, curse you palm oil.
Inflation, shrinkflation and maintaining customer friendly retails.
One used to be a gift to a family/friend.
The other is cheap shit you barely give to an acquaintance
The old tin probably cost 3 times as much though. I remember them being €9.99 each now you can get 3 of the smaller ones for the same price, it’s probably more sweets overall even.
How does the 2005 one look so old when 2005 was so recent? (It was *not* 16 years ago. I am *not* old).
Fuck

The irony is, the box sizes are getting smaller but the people are getting bigger.
I recall selection boxes back in the 1980s & 90s to be a lot bigger with more bars.
Does anyone know of a decent alternative which uses high quality chocolate?
Preferably from a small Irish manufacturer
we need to stop buying this trash anyway. just think of the stacks of them that you see in the supermarkets and how many are bought all over the country, all those tiny little wrappers just ending up in the dump every year
I find chocolate brands owned by mondelez have gone to shit, milka tastes different, especially since they stopped making it in switzerland, same with cadburys when they closed their coolock factory. they cut their costs on lots of things, thats why they shut down the plants, and probably cut back on the ingredients too
Out of interest, how different are the ingredients? Are they listed on the old tin?
Robbing bastards
They took the blue ones and made them into knockoff dark yellow ones and I am angry as fuk. Also you only get 4 in a pot now. Bastards
2.75kg tins of roses were still being produced a few years ago, I doubt any shop sold them here. A variety of sizes was always available, weird how some people are ignorant about this -or just ignore it, the largest tin were never the best seller or “standard”, I wonder how the price per kilo compared years ago on the different sizes. Nowadays the 800g tin is not great value, and for 10 or 20 years I think that was the case.
The 2005 Tin…1.75 KG of Christmas chocolate heaven. Ah, the memories !!!

Yea but there’s chocolates in the small one and sewing needles, thread & buttons in the big one.
I can’t eat them. They taste like soap to me. Dunno if the older ones were nicer though. Sometimes the recipe changes… For the worse.
Different tins – same shite taste (even worse if that is even possible)
Now made with Castrol GTX.
Let me guess where the sewing shite is in
I remember my ma showing me a video recently enough of me as a baby (must of been about 1 and a half) opening a tin of roses and there was this big massive bar of Cadburys inside as well? Was about late 90s, I couldn’t get away with it. We’re getting robbed blind nowadays!
All the shapes are gone too, they are all in shitty packets now
Not big on Cadbury prefer Nestle amd others
The 2005 one probably full of sowing stuff, needles, thread etc 😭
How far we have fallen…
The pink ones taste like Neurofen
With the sugar tax, the box on the left would probably cost a fortune

454g was £2.89 in 1987, €3.67, or €4.85 per 600g

Quality street had 2kg tins this year in the UK [https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/shopping-deals/quality-street-launch-giant-2kg-25683991](https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/shopping-deals/quality-street-launch-giant-2kg-25683991)
