Cadbury Chocolate trifle rip-off!

passatrider

Forgive me for this rant, you may even think I need to get out more!

I've noticed that the Cadbury Chocolate trifle trio pack has been rebranded as a twin pack. What's the problem you may ask? The price for two is the same in comparason for each pot, yet the contents have been reduced down to 90g, down from 100g.

I'm getting rather hacked off with these companies messing with established products and ripping us off in the meantime, hoping we will not notice.
:mad:

Surely eating less means less calories = you may not get so fat.

I always feel when something has been rebranded it is because they want to fit into a new catergory for increaased sales. In this case it is probably a way of saving money, but also getting their prduct below a certain number of calroies or fat grams too. The next campaign will be "and now only 120 calories per pot!!" well it would be less cals if there's less of it....
Being able to brand their product as suitable for dieters is an ad mans dream.

That's not the point, I'm well aware of the consequences of eating too many calories. We are allowed to endulge occasionally without the nanny state interfering surely??

Totally agree..all about maximum profit with little regard to loyal customers


Ps. I'm off to lie down in a darkened room!

Im not sure Cadbury could be classed as the nanny state. maybe the choclatey state.
