+InsaneNutter MVC Posted November 10, 2022 MVC Share Posted November 10, 2022 I remember the 90's tins! Anyone noticed Yorkie Bars have got so much smaller over the years? According to Wikipedia they have gradually been reducing the weight of them, so it's not just in my head: 2002: 70g 2010: 64.5g 2011 (Start): 61g 2011 (Fall): 55g 2014: 46g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point those big companies noticed that if you keep price the same but reduce the size, people react better compared to keeping the size, but increasing price.

Gone are the days of a good chunk of chocolate, they're more like the size of a Fredo bar now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
