Are Cadburys Fudgebars Getting Smaller

[encee]

or am i getting bigger.they really do seem to be smaller and thinner

[mallyh]

i agree with you all chocolate bars seem smaller now

[mccfluff]

a finger of fudge is no longer "just enough"

[echokilo]

Yep - and Mars Bars and Twix and Rolo ............ marketing ploy so we think they are still good value. Goes on in all types of food.

[murraymints]

a finger of fudge is just enough to give a kid a treat...a finger of fudge is just enough and very good to eat....

[yinyang]

Yes, I can fit a whole fudge bar in my mouth in one go now.

I noticed that myself when I was raiding the kids selection boxes the other day.

[AlwaysConfused]

Not sure, but I'll use this as an excuse to pop down the shop and find out!

[encee]

a finger of fudge is just enough to get my tastebuds going.does anyone know what size the bars were when they first came out?

[emmie]

all confectionery, chocolate bars, crisps, biscuits, are smaller, and costlier, it's a swizz.

[encee]

always confused.i like that.they are small enough now to pop in my purse for when i need a sugar rush.i think i am getting good value when i get 6 for a pound but now thinking maybe i'm not?

[encee]

on a mission now must find out what size they were when they first came out in 1948.by the way the tune to that advert came from the lincolnshire poacher

[cecil39]

yes they are smaller, I always push one inside each Christmas cracker as an extra, and they only just fitted, now they dissapear with space to spare, I think waggon wheels are tiny compared to what they once were as well.

[Old_Geezer]

If you eat many fudgebars then the answer to your question might be, "both" !

[excelsior-1]

yorkie bars are certainly shorter than they used to be

[Smowball]

It was on tv that they have made ready meals smaller now but they are still the same price - total con.

[vulcan]

It's easier to disguise a smaller item then a price increase.

[encee]

yes vulcan2 you are so right.but i would love to know what size they were when they first came out all those years ago.i know for a fact tha they have doubled in price since the 80's cos they wer 10p then and i reckon they were double the size.

My favourite bar of chocolate was (you may not remember) but I do - it was a bar of chocolate and they were made of up 8 squares and every one of them was milk tray. So beautiful when you were a little girl.
