Toffee crisp, wtaf!

[SupernaturalAddict]

Fancied a toffee crisp bar and haven't had one for years. I put a four pack on the food delivery and they came. Sat down with a nice brew and wtf?! It was non existant nearly. The only thing i can compare it to is sleeping with a bloke who has a microscopic penis (which i have navigated, once). Two mouth fulls and that's it.

In my head I remember them being at least four times the size. What on Earth is going on?

Picture supplied to show lacking size.

For the poll:-
Yanbu: they are a shadow of their former selves
Yabu: they have never changed size and are massive

I boycott them too SanFran. Have you tried Aldi’s Caramel Crunch?

Yes. Aldi's Knock-offee Crisps are pretty decent!

you should see the gold bars!

SHRINKFLATION

They are the ones who voted YABU for even contemplating eating a UPF hideously sugar laden food in the first place, when you could make your own healthy version by puffing your own rice, using sugar free carob and mixing with a dose of sadness.

Oh yes they are so tiny. All chocolate has got smaller but these are almost joke sized. I’d eat all 4.

Hmm, yes, it's got a lot smaller on the vertical axis, hasn't it? How disappointing.

I had a similar rant not long ago

Why’s it so thin? Didn’t they used to be the same height as width pretty much?

Nearly all products have, or are, shrinking, I think producers would rather cut the size of their products and maintain a good margin, rather than put the price up....

That looks nothing like an authentic toffee crisp. Thats an outrage.
Who remembers the toffee crisp jn a blue wrapper, dark chocolate!!!

@PigletJohn i used to really really really love Cadbury chocolate. Had some a month ago and it gave me a headache!!
Plain chocolate is fine lol

@GintyMcGinty and @HikingHippo deserve a special old fashioned Toffee Crisp just for making me snort-laugh reading their posts on this thread.

We are firmly in the two bites gone era of chocolate bars
70s kid i re a mars bar being a challenge to finish or popped in the freezer sliced and shared amongst family

Don't get me started on Rolos.

Toffee crisp was always my favourite, that's so gutting to hear.

"Cost-Cutting Ingredient Substitutions

• Increased Vegetable Oils (Palm and Shea): Premium cocoa butter is expensive. Over the years, Mondelez has increasingly incorporated cheaper vegetable fats like palm and shea oil into various products to lower production costs. This alters the melting point and mouthfeel, leaving what many describe as a greasy or waxy residue. 1, 2, ]
• More Fillers and Emulsifiers: Consumers have noted higher sugar content and a greater reliance on cheap emulsifiers (like E442 and E476) and fillers. This pushes the chocolate toward a profile that is much sweeter and less intensely chocolatey. 1, 2, ]

All the chocolate bars in 4 packs are tiny now! They’re like fun sizes. If you want a full size bar you need to buy an individual bar. And they are so expensive now.

The Aldi ones are good! Nestle boycotter here too! Also not impressed with Cadburys these days. Doesn’t taste like chocolate anymore!

Do not like these but understand your disbelief. Snack size is now masquerading as full size for most things. Just makes me want to eat two

Christ that is awful. Was it run over on the way to yours?

Looking on the bright side, it isn't yet as horrible as American chocolate.

Hershey's smells of baby vomit

(And, not only is this true, it is actually deliberate)

😂😂

This made me laff

Oooh I'd forgotten about toffee crisps. I want one now.
