They can’t have shrunk them even further. At this stage, they’ll be a tray instead of a tub next year

People do this every year but when we had the larger ones we were paying nearly a tenner, a tin of roses was €15 youd bring it as a gift to house. They’ll be three for a tenner in December

They have already got rid of all the nice sweets from them anyway. Roses used to be amazing…nothing but the shit sweets left in them nowadays.

100g less chocolate, it’s not on. Doesn’t look as good for gifting purposes. More like a selection for a movie night or the toy show with the kids. I also propose that there should be more malteser sweets and less bounty ones.

Fuck these companies, it’s not just celebrations… it’s all chocolate, the share bags have been getting smaller year on year while the price is the same or has gone up…. I wouldn’t even call a share bag a share bag anymore it’s that small..
I have cut way down on the buying of confectionery, has anyone else also cut down or are you all buying the same amounts as before?
Would be interesting to know other people’s opinions on this!

As a result of the checked capitalism; never ending corporate growth for shareholder dividends. Profits have to be made somewhere.

Isn’t Carrefour in france (Big supetmarket chain) putting big labels on the shelf on any product where they are carrying out shrinkflation , they recently got into a spat with with PepsiCo cause whom wanted to up their prices and Carrefour called them out on it basically saying energy and ingredient prices went down and said we won’t agree to the new prices and didn’t stock their products for a bit.
I would gladly support large retailers implementing some of these tactics to shame these giant companies.

Nobody buy them this year. Hopefully, they get the message and sort it out for next year.

I work in confectionary, cocoa prices are wild AF even on 2 year contracts for high volume.
For context Cocoa was around 3K USD a MT last year…. at one point this year it was 12k USD a MT, atm it’s around 7k…. just through up a price for cocoa over the last 50 years and see how batshit crazy it’s been this year.
Like I know of a company that decided instead of shrinkflation they’d cut their margin and just run a product to fill capacity in their plant… so at no profit just to keep the lights on and staff paid to hold the weight of the product it’s price went from €15 to €22….
You will see this in stores this Christmas everyone has shrinkflated if they are using cocoa and many shrinkflated with a 20-30% price increase on top… and it will only be worse in Q1 a Q2 next year but should get better after that.
Lots of smaller businesses that used spot prices got shafted if they were just doing chocolate if not they pivoted away, the 2 largest Cocoa processors on the planet basically said we will only guarantee supply to existing customers who are contracted around November / December last year.

Stop buying them. Only way to get it to stop.

Look at the tin I found in my attic last year… why did they ruin our Christmas sweets? Why???
Stop buying them. It’s the only way
Soon it’ll be a cd
Why do you have a 10 year old tin of Celebrations? It’s nearly ready for secondary school.
They’ve even cheapened out on printing.
Just stop buying them. Consider other options. Probably better junk food online …
