To be horrified at this news

[Millionsmom]

No, not the huge snow storm in the US or King Tuts beard

But

Magnums and Cornettos are to shrink!

It's made the scrolling breaking news on BBC World news.

AIBU to think civilisation really has come to an end? First it was Cadbury and their creme eggs, then the annual downsizing of 'Christmas Choc' packs and now flippin Magnums!! --I didn't know they still made Cornettos but I never could have 'justa one'.

Anyone feeling the pain?

[lljkk]

I like them shrinking, too big for us anyway.

[PunkAssMoFo]

I discovered bars of magnum chocolate the other day...

[monkeyfacegrace]

What the actual fuck have I just read? Magnums are too big for people to manage? I can eat a whole multipack one after another without flinching.

Which is why I dont buy them.

[WorraLiberty]

I'm a Magnum wimp. I can't eat a whole one either.

[lljkk]

Rich food is best in tiny portions. It's only really the first 2-3 bites that you love, the rest is filler.

[BillBrysonsBeard]

I can eat whole pack too and wish I could struggle with one. This is why I am a size 16

[Nectarines]

That advert where the girl keeps biting the magnum

Ooh it gives me the rage

Stop it just stop it

[Gazelda]

I had a honeycomb magnum the other day. It was the best thing I've ever ever eaten.

[maybebabybee]

Who the hell can't eat a full sized magnum

[Vanderwaals]

I am very angry about this.
Cornettos though, don't like magnums.
So because a few people abuse food and can't be trusted to make sensible food choices they have to ruin the occasional treat for everyone else.
I don't believe that's why they've done it though. It's all about maximising profits

[iciclewinter]

I think they should sell giant creme eggs

[WhoTheFuckIsSimon]

Agree that they'd already shrunk cornettos once. To do it again is crazy.

I can't eat a whole magnum so not bothered about that. And this is someone who can eat a whole pack of Jaffa cakes in one go.

Anyone noticed a box of chocolate fingers is half full these days? Loads less than there used to be.

[TrinityForce]

What? Abuse food? Can't make sensible choices?

Yeah, that's the reason they're shrinking magnums. Nothing to do with making more money for less product or anything.

[FedupNagging]

I can't eat a whole magnum can't stand them I can however eat 3 Cadbury cream eggs in a row and not feel sick

Just to clarify, I could do this before they changed the recipe and size so reckon I could do a whole box now no probs.

[Travelledtheworld]

Plastic Smarties lids with letters on them. Suspect they were probably deemed to be a choking hazard for small children, and done away with......

[HairySubject]

I can just about manage a full pink magnum but I feel sick after. I don't like any of the other ones, they are just sickly and disgusting. I do like a cornetto though xx

[hefzi]

Bloody hell, you guys are right: WTF is this, a nanny state?!

[parrotonmyshoulder]

Vanderwaals, are you actually 'very angry'?

I can't find it in me to care.

[JustDanceAddict]

Full-sized magnums are a meal in themselves, but the price wont drop will it now..

[Quoteunquote]

The positive is that you can feel less guilty when eating two.

[Cleanermaidcook]

I can eat a whole pack of 3 normal sized magnums if really pushed!!

I feel your pain op, life is no longer worth living.

[Muddlewitch]

Lidl's version of Magnums are lovely, better than the 'real' ones.

[OttiliaVonBCup]

Hang on, are they going to sell them for less too?

And I'm at people's inability to eat a whole magnum.
Practice FFS!
