Where are all the Selection Boxes this year?

There are no traditional stockings with chocolate bars in, and very few selection boxes. Is it the same everywhere? I've tried Aldi, Asda and Tesco - very very few to be had.

Be not seen any with full sized chocolate in. Just the crappy couple of quid ones with mini bars and a freddo.

They're there in Aero, Cadbury, Nestle, skittles, m&ms, haribo etc, they're just tiny. I think they possibly look smaller because less packaging (fair enough), but not enough contents either imo!)

Well, the netting can cause ecological issues to birds and marine life and we're in the middle of an obesity crisis...so small ones in cardboard finally sounds sensible to me.

It’s Christmas. Nobody eats a selection box every day or even every week.
You can be sure the scaling down is profit related, not a response to the obesity crisis Hmm
