Strongbow Cider - used to be in packs of 18 cans (often on the 'buy-2-4-£16' supermarket deals) now it is boxes of 15 cans on the same deal!!!!!
I've also noticed bacon packs having less slices in, but can't remember where it was, sorry.
Oh - and - Kazmeister - Why not keep your old cordial bottle, pour in some of the new stronger one & dilute it in the bottle? - the kids will use it and dilute it as normal! (it's worked for me - I've also slightly diluted normal squash to stretch it further and they haven't noticed!!!!!)The best advice you can give your children: "Take responsibility for your own actions...and always Read the Small Print!"
