Today i was on the way up to Grantown-on-Spey. I hadnt eaten all day so i stopped to get a Snickers but there were neen. So i grabbed a Yorkie instead.
Once i was back in the motor i noticed that it was a Yorkie "Duo". More chocolate i thought.What a load of utter false advertising bollox. Yorkies used to be 6 pieces with Y-O-R-K-I-E spelt out. But when sweetieshrinkgate happened a Yorkie shrunk to 5 pieces with Yorkie spelt out on every individual piece. Getting back to my "Duo". How many pieces did it have? F@cking 6 split in 2 bars of 3. "Duos" used to be two normal sized bars. Instead i found i got one measly extra piece. One f@cking little b@starding measly f@cking bit.
Yorkie are now on my list

Thought this was gonna be a thread about spoilt bitches and their lap dogs.
Only kidding.
Yeah its a flaming scandal the way the sweetie manufacterers have shrunk the size of their products. Ive noticed Mars Bars are about half the size they were, when I was a bairn they were like a meal in themselves.

It wasnt really the weight that was the issue. It was the whole "duo" nonsense. Duo equals two of. Nae 1 and a 1/5 of. Robbing d@cks

Mars bars haven't just shrunk, they taste different too. Definitely not as good as they used to be.

They took (most of?) the malt out of them.
Milky Ways from the US are in fact our Mars Bars but with Malt. They're ace.

Hey Disco, thanks for replying to begin with.
Yes we're way too busy with far too many 'visitors' these days, and what can we do about it eh ? :s

nothing to do with the sweeties getting smaller, it's yer hands that are getting bigger....
It's true though, those cost cutting, profit maximising entrepreneurial b@stards are indeed cutting the size of your favorites

That's where all the white dog****e went, the stuff (ken) that people say doesn't exist any more. A dog would call it a M'arse Bar.

I second that motion
Love them - but they are cheating sods for reducing it's size/weight whatever it was
Still have to pay the same price !
