Food items that have become smaller over time

[Pferdestarke]

Quite why I'm wasting my own time, and yours, starting this post but I've just had a Snickers for the first time in ages and it was bloody tiny!

Look.



Renamed "Vickers" as the S and half the N are baggy wrapper and not chocolate peanut goodness.

Ahhh you assumed that the multipack bars would actually be multiples of the single bars you buy in the local shop.

Pretty much everything has reduced in size except the prices.

I would advise you never, ever, buy another Wagon Wheel.

Monster Munch. Nowhere near as big and tasty as they used to be.

[Pferdestarke]

I did assume.

So this is the old Walkers Crisps rip off where the usual 30g bags are a measley 26.5, only in what ever the chocolate equivalent is?

Conmen the lot of them!

On the same kind of subject, does anyone remember when Double Deckers used to have sultanas in? They disappeared without trace or notice

4 Twixes in a box last night for £1...half the usual size

Mars Marathon 1990 by Marc Sayce, on Flickr

62g!

So this wasn't a bad batch. It's bloody robbery from loyal consumers buying a recognised brand who put their faith and trust in to the manufacturers of these products.

I'm really hurt.

The most annoying thing about new Monster Munch is that they don't have the weird knobbly circular shaped ones anymore.

Heinz baked beans.

Once upon a time, a can was 440 grams in weight, and contained mostly beans. Nowadays a can is 415 grams in weight and contains only 51% beans.

Thought it was raisins? Either way they were so much better then than they are now.

They used to taste nicer, even without the raisins. Had one the other day and it was like chewing putty.

That's right it was Raisins.

Isn't it a case of instead of putting the price up, they reduced the size.
