The Food reset, sadly no Felicity Kendall.

It's a piss take, especially all the chocolate based stuff being replaced with god knows what horrible substitutes. The price of wholesale cocoa has fallen for over a year

I’m doing a vid about Easter shrinkflation and asked a bunch of big manufacturers why they have increased the price of products when cocoa dropped something like 40% last year. They all came back with varying length replies saying approximately “we do everything we can to maintain high standards of flavour and taste, and ultimately pricing is up to the retailer”

Talk about passing the buck

German court has made a ruling against Milka in relation to shrinkflation, if this is upheld when it goes to appeal I guess it could cause quite the upset for manufacturers

Ohhhh that's very interesting, thanks for sharing, I'll make a vid about that one!

Weird isn't. Why not keep the same weigh and increase the price. I'm sure people would rather that, than reduce the weight.
Or even worse and still common, reduce the weight and increase the price.

Which is what the article mentions happened, but with very minimal declaration to the consumer

It was definitely a “gavin will like this” moment when I saw it

Eat proper chocolate and then try Cadburys and it's terrible stuff.

Also the Easter eggs which were shallower then they were wide, my kids were pissed off and said next year can we just get the money

Dave!
