Paddy Galore! Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 anyone noticed this? wifey and i are tucking into a bag right this very moment, not only are they smaller, there's less of them too!

keg Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Glad someone mentioned the lack of buckets, used to see them in the supermarkets, now I don't see them anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 You got sick of eating a wagon wheel as a kid before you finished it, now you can nearly fit a full one in your mouth. We are being done by the sweety manufacturers, if we use 20% less chocolate but ripple it up More they won't notice but our profit margins will be a lot better. Give us our proper sized sweets back you Scrooges. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malik Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ive noticed that before when you had a box. There were 2 full rows of malteasers, one on top of the other. Now you get a full bottom row and a hand full on top. Pretty much an half empty box these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novice cushie shooter Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Like evreything nowadays. The price of sugar and coco has risen so drastically that the manufacturers have had to make them smaller to make only a slight profit......
