Is it just me or are crisps harder these days ?,  Remember year's ago when a crisp was what it said, now,  no matter what brand I buy they always seem to be hard.  Maybe the teeth aren't what they used to be.   Whilst I'm going down memory lane,  can you remember Wagon Wheels as a kid, I'm sure they were as big as dinner plate, now there no bigger than a 10p piece, maybe its because I was smaller then, or is it just that I'm a lot greedier now ?.

A lot of chocolate has shrunk (and crisps too). Cost reduction without price rise and to promote "health benefits". 25% less fat. Yeah. Also 25% smaller. Who knew.

I used to like a chomp, but not sure I could afford one now.

The expectations of our lazy fat cunt culture haven't kept pace with the shrinkflation policies of the supply chain.

It's capitalism. It's good for us.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
