I'd Like to Report a Robbery
Jump to: Newest in thread
Did my online shop this week and Choco Leibniz dark choc and peppermint biscuits screamed at me until I bought them. They were £1.80 for a pack, but if I believe the Loreal adverts (and why wouldn't I?) I'm worth it, so popped them in my basket.
I've just hit a bit of an afternoon slump, just the sort of thing a biscuit would solve, so I went to the cupboard, opened the pack to find...
6 biscuits.
That's it.
The full pack. 6. Nobody got there before me and ate half, they're actually selling 6 biscuits as a full pack.
Robbing bloody bastards.
I mean they're nice and all, but 30p a biscuit? Are they going to go down on me before I eat them or what?
They'd better be the best bloody biscuits I've ever tasted in my entire damn life. |

I thought it was shocking as the packaging is super misleading and long for …6 biscuits  |

"Isn’t it called “shrinkflation,” where they give you less for the same price, bastards! like when they spaced out the Toblerones"
Or give you 300ml of beer instead of 330!
It increases their margins, while people barely notice. |

"Well some cunts been using my bank card to take taxis in Europe  "
If it's in Germany it's probably one of the robbing bastards from Bahlsen. Dirty thieves, the lot of 'em.
(Joking aside I hope you get it sorted). |

Spoiler alert: I bloody noticed! I feel like I should go and picket the factory - 6 biscuits is not a reasonable pack size. |

"I'm sure that brand used to come in packs of 9....
And be sold much cheaper than one pound bloody eighty, too!they are nice though. I like how the chocolate hangs over the edges "
I love nibbling the overhanging chocolate bits, than eating the biscuit. |

Update: they're a bit minging.
The chocolate tastes like an Elizabeth Shaw mint crisp (nice), but they haven't taken the salt out of the biscuit so it's a salty biscuity mint crisp. The salt works with chocolate, but not with chocolate and mint.
It's just an omnishambles and I hope someone at Bahlsen is heartily ashamed.
One pound bloody eighty for 6... |

"Ohhh no I can't quite get my head around the sea salted chocolate "
I quite like that, I find the salt adds a depth by suppressing any bitterness.
Doesn't work adding peppermint sugar crystals to the mix though. |

"There are always 9 in a pack always.
I want to appeal to all other posters that they should be very very kind to _uriousscouser as she has a clear cut case of sleep eating ....... tsk.
"
Hush now granny, I'm preparing my case to sell my story to the Echo. There'll be a lovely picture of me looking all sad and pointing at the half empty pack in an attempt to get some compo out of this.
Don't blow my cover and there's a minging chocolate mint biscuit in it for you (don't knock it, it's worth thirty bloody pence). |

Shrinkflation happens when the price of ingridients goes up.
The manufacturer has the option of using lower quality ingridients and keeping same price and size of item, keeping same quality but raising the price or same quality but reducing the size of item and price. |

Or in this case reduce the size and increase the price. This isn't shrinkflation, this is daylight robbery! |

"Serves you right for eating horrible flavoured Liebnitz."
Oh I ate one - I'm selling the rest of the pack on a popular auction site I'm not 100% sure I'm permitted to name even in jest.
Anyway, no low offers; I know what I've got. |
