But that effectively is a price increase isn't it?

Last year I posted on here about the "downsizing" of boxes of Cadbury's Fingers. About 10 years ago there was 227g in a box (half a pound). Then they did the famous metrication trick which has been deployed on numerous bags of sweets - they downsized from 227g to 200g. Then every year over the last 10 years, they shaved off another 5-10 grams. Last year it was down to 165g, falling to 150g by the end of the year!

They have this crafty way of keeping the box the same size, but changing the dynamics of the inner plastic tray so it curves upwards like the bottom of a wine bottle, and spreading the fingers out more thinly.

Since I first warned about that, I've noticed the size has now dropped to 125g in some stores. They only need to shave off another 12 grams and they've got the product down to half its original weight, without anyone noticing!

The double chocolate cadburys fingers are now 120g in Sainsburys.
You know where this is leading to...
Eventually there will only be 2 fingers in a full box arranged in a V shape pointing straight at you. :rolleyes:
