    They've all shrunk, but the prices haven't! e.g. I think an Aero wrapper weighs more than the Aero itself these days.:mad:

    The Dairy Milk you get in Cork is different to that where the BBC operates!

    Why is this an Ireland rip-off? You reference a UK news article about a UK company.

    Kraft
    "By reducing the size of our 140g bar to 120g we have been able to hold the bar at this price although we believe our confectionery still represents a very affordable treat."

    Three words, and the first two are "Lying" and "Robbing".

    The Dairy Milk 230g bar has gone from €2.15 to €2.49 this week -this was after it shrunk a few years ago from 250g

    The 120g Aero bar was €1.50ish, now €1.99 - it used to be 150g
