    Well, puns are treats we can all revell in.

    More to do with the price of cocoa going up and the choice is between a price increase or a smaller bar.

    Aldi can sell huge bars for not much more than the price of a snickers.

    I had a mars cup with a old picture and slogan saying "2 good ounces" which is about 57grams. Yorkies have dropped in size many times.

    Aldi or lidl will sell bigger bars for less as mentioned, most find it to be nicer chocolate too, and if they say they don't they probably would in a blind tasting ;)

    Cub bars are lovely.

    Better known as Lion bars of course but much too small now to still warrant being called that.

    See what I did there? See the way..

    ..ah come on.

    Drifter bars should be called 'The Littlest Hobo' bars as they are now just little drifters.

    Get it?

    Tough crowd.

    Okay, which bars are so small now compared to their original size, that they should be called 'Pubic Hair Bars'?

    Turkish Delight should be renamed Slap and Tickle.

    This happens all the time


    Coca cola and other soft drinks manufacturers did this about 5 years ago - reduced pub bottle sizes from 250 mls to 220 mls and upped the price

    Lloyd Grossman pasta sauces reduced from 425 mls to 350

    Innocent smoothies reduced from a litre to 750ml

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
