Just opened a 4 pack of Twix to find they have now shrunk by at least a third of their original size....
I had the same shock last week with a 3 pack of Wispa bars!!

Spooky coincidence - I literally just came home with a three-pack of Yorkies, and when I opened it thought exactly the same thing. The manufacturers must think we're stupid.
Luckily I'd got mine for a quid in Poundland (other mega-cheap outlets are available) so I still feel like I had a bargain - just not as big a bargain as I'd expected! |

"Lots of stuff in pound shops and the like are smaller sizes to encourage the illusion of getting a bargain, factfans. "
that's all very well but it doesn't explain those that I bought in the co-op (an overpriced supermarket with usually not a lot of choice to be had)were smaller |

Fair point. That's probably just a hallmark of co-op being shit. They were probably full size when they were delivered, but the inherent shitness of the co-op made them shrink like a cock in winter. |

"noticed that with coca-cola too, rarely see 2ltr bottles but the prices is more that 2ltr branded drinks
Coke have stopped making 2ltr bottles now. "
Yeah i thought they, but some people say you can still get 2ltr bottles in multi packs. Have to admit i have never looked to see if that is the case.
I remember seeing on news a couple years ago a company were to put 2 olives less per jar to save a few hundred thousand pounds per year |

I challenge anyone to make one, and weigh it, eat it, and then complain.
How it only cost a pound for 4 of 3/4 size twix or Mars bars or snickers.
A regular one is 60p.
go to Lidl and get your self a real bar for under a quid, go on Bach, treat yourself. |

I was thinking about this kind of thing earlier! Bought a yorkie and I'm sure the sections of chocolate used to have each letter of the word yorkie on there, now it's down to 5 pieces! #scandal |
