To be disappointed at the minuscule dimensions of french fancies?

[SadderThanEeyore]

Got some Mr Kipling Irish Cream Fancies and they are so small! Tasty, but tiny

YANBU. They definitely used to be bigger! I love a French fancy

They are very very sweet though. Have two?

They shrunk them. But Wenzel’s do big ones.

I like it when they shrink things, it means I can still have a taste of what I like but won't get so fat.

There are Irish Cream ones? The orange Halloween ones are awesome. They should be a thing all year round.

I love these should do a Christmas one no alcohol taste.

You've just inspired me to look them and I found: You can get a whole box of just the lemon ones! They're the best ones! It's incomprehensible to me that you only get 2 in a box of 8, but you get 3 each of the pink and the chocolate...

Put one in each cheek. Sorted.

And there are chocolate orange ones!! Sorry, I'm totally hijacking this thread...

@McRibpain it just means I tend to have more of then which works out worse.

I thought they were meant to be small? Like as part of afternoon tea kind of thing?

ONLy if you consider one to be a portion. It isn’t. One portion = one box

@PanamaPattie 😂😂
@yetanothernamitynamechange yeah, it turned out to be
I'm sure they never used to be this small. Will be looking for the lemon ones and hiding them

I buy the M&S ones. Still minuscule but I can manage two or three at a time

That's Mr Kipling cakes in general though, isn't it? Teeny tiny cakes that are gone in a few mouthfuls.

^ this..... Everyone knows that a single box is a single portion and they have just been cut into bite sized chunks for maximum icing-to-sponge ratio!!

Absolutely! I'm so disappointed I have to have 4, just to make sure I get my fair share!

Does anyone even like the chocolate ones? (Serious not light hearted)

I'm sure the Aldi version are only about 100 cal. Therefore it's the law to eat about 4.

Everything's gone smaller: Wagon Wheels, Curly Wurlys, to name a couple.

Ah maybe that's why I eat most of the box

I’m not convinced the smaller sizes make us eat less (two crunchies I just ate were delicious)

Nope. They go in the bin

Do we not perhaps feel that french fancies have not got smaller but we have in fact got bigger from eating too many fancies

I did eat a pack to myself the other day

I’m not a fan of the chocolate ones yet I love chocolate
