Cadbury downsize
 
Cadbury are downsizing...

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-st...s-2202753.html


I think it's a ridiculous price as it is for a bar of Dairy Milk and I definately won't buy one if they are making it any smaller!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be the way of things these days, more money for less.:rolleyes:

CADBURY, SORT IT OUT!!!

yeah but in all honesty, if obese people are going to buy a bar of fattening chocolate the less they get the better. Although really I feel there should be some sort of ban on selling chocolate/takeaways/other crappy foods to obese people...

That's a bit silly. That's like saying under weight people should be force fed.
Everyone has a choice, but if they suffer from it then we should have the right to refuse them treatment or services as it is their fault. No one should be banned from buying stuff.

Hmmm...Maria...not really my point. I grudge having to pay 99p for a tiny bar of chocolate. I like chocolate, particularly cadbury, and I'm not obese so should I also be penalised when I purchase a bar of Dairy Milk. Ridiculous.

Don't tell me Kraft don't make enough of a profit on Cadbury for it to be sustainable!! This screams of greed to me.

400g bars....

5p each ;)


Thats what we were paying for them direct from cadbury last year :)

I still have passes for the shop there if your desperate although theres a £40 limit but if you spend £40, take a wheelbarrow with you..:)

It's common is every area of the food market. It's an easy way to combat the rising costs of ingredients without having to affect the price. Although prices have risen also.

Although I noticed that the chocolates you get in Cadbury's heros were bigger and there were far more of the decent ones too.

Agghh I am a chocoholic (What do you expect from an ex smoker)

Green and Blacks for me, but somehow I think Cadbury/Kraft own them.

So is my preferred nibble going to get smaller as well?

I think you are right Tim. They will probably put the price up on those bars as they are "luxury" bars.
