Shrinkflation

Just got notified my Spotify subscription is going up. I'd rather they kept it the same price and made the product smaller. They could get rid of some of the shit I never listen to

They've spent loads on podcasts that I couldn't care less about.

The woman who was CEO UK was fired because the change in recipe devastated the cream egg sales. She made the change purely on the grounds that a US recipe was bound to be better.

In that case the whole of Cadburys management should be given the boot. They have managed to turn one of the most tasty chocolates into a waxy, plastic tasting imitation of it's former self. I will not buy Cadburys now. One more pleasure removed from my life by those only interested in the bottom line and to how far they can take our trousers down!!

Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband can't be called chocolate any more

Nestle has used more vegetable oil in it recipes, meaning the treats no longer qualify as chocolate under UK law

I've not done sweet stuff for many years apart from the odd Mars bar, maybe 2/3 a year when i buy fuel and need a pick up on a long drive.

All chocolate that I've had the last few years just tastes really poor and like shit these days.
 
What gets me with these companies is they don’t ask if you want the recipe changed or reduced they just do it! Why not for a few months sell the original one and up the price! See which one sells!

Also someone like Cadbury’s should sell the original recipe of the first chocolate bar and see how it sell, because I for one dislike the yank new recipe shite!
 
I bought a jar of anchovies this week. Same as usual looked packed. When opened the middle was empty.

I'm sure someone was paid a small fortune to do a few focus groups.
 
Crisp piss me off the most, you need to have 3 or 4 bags to feel like you've had any with most multipack sized bags now, i'd sooner they kept them the same size and just up the cost. I'm more likely to just not bother buying them because of how small they are than to not buy them because of the cost.
 
In short you pay for chocolate and don't get chocolate and to compound that travesty they charge you more and put cheaper ingredients in the product too as well as shrink it to boot.

Stop buying the shite people.

Why your chocolate is getting smaller, more expensive and less chocolatey

Christmas treats are getting eaten away by 'shrinkflation' and the Grinch even has an eye on the cocoa content.
