Never mind corrupt cops etc... this is the sort of issue that really matters! A simples internet search reveals that 39g eggs are now 34g in order to conform with the changes in the U.S. This was in 2009/2010 IIRC, Cadbury bought Kraft for a SERIOUS amount of money around that time, so maybe Cadbury had to reduce expenses/increase profit margins by cutting back on the SIZE of products, but still charging the same amount, which ties in with my post above ^^^ | ||

While I'm not doubting that you're getting screwed over. The price of cocoa has increased by 252% in the last 6 years, WAY above the rate of inflation. Sugar has increased significantly too. This has actually meant that confectionery and chocolate manufacturers have faced costs rising faster than prices and lower margins. | ||
