Have I had a faulty batch? I've had many a pack of smiths chipsticks since school... Bought a multipack this week and sudden they are definitely skinnier! I preferred the fatter ones 😐has anyone else noticed?

It's called shrink inflation, and literally every single product you can think of has been a victim of it over the years so yes, you will be right.

Penguins and Kit Kats used to be literally double the size. That and literally every other confectionary!!

Yes, they have become more like a lighter version of Pom sticks....the are still good though ha ha

Check you didn't buy mini chips (the superior product).

These are thin, and the bonus being you get a lot more in a pack rather than just air.
