Fucking jews man... everything gets smaller and also somehow shittier.

Fanta now tastes watered down and looks like it too.
Pringles are about 3/4 full and half the size, used to be you couldn't ecen get them out without tipping the container.

It's only gonna get worse.

>>8259770
TOBLEROOOOOONE

>>8259770
Tribe made the bottom of their hummus containers raised. It was some major bullshit that they did, I don't think they even lowered the prices to conpensate

>getting upset over chocolate

fat fucks

>>8259781
>reduced quantity, same price

Yeah, this is essentially inflation, without being called inflation and it's happening with virtually every packaged product.

So, when you see these bullshit 1% inflation numbers yet you're spending 10% more than you did last year buying the same day to day shit, you know why. It's a real sham.

>>8259782

HURTS MY HANDS

>>8259903
>buying packaged food
You deserve it desu

>>8259903
Interesting stuff.

Does this also explain why my tall can of Red Bull has only 0.47l instead of the usual 0.5l?

>>8259785
Everything in glass jars has done this.

>>8259916
>>8259916
Most likely, if you have an old can compare the bottom of the 2 the new one should have a higher raised bottom.

>>8259770
It's fake

>>8259781
>Fucking jews man... everything gets smaller and also somehow shittier.

you realize that this is the 150g bar and it's still the 150g bar

looks easier to break apart now, but there's less chocolate overall

>>8259770
Nice blog.

unless they're changing the actual weight of the bar you guys are getting trolled

>>8259936
How was that a blog post?
Explain the thought process behind your comment?

>>8259959
supposedly they are, where else is that chocolate gonna go?
lol are you new

>>8259959
They are changing the weight of the bar instead of increasing the price.

>>8259770
You just need to stop buying their shitty products.

>>8259915
>thinks packaged products are only food >thinks packaged food = processed with additives

Oh, I guess I should stop buying soap, detergent, hygiene items, clothing, rice, beans, oil, butter, flour, cheese, soy sauce, miso, vinegar, cornmeal, nuts, etc.

Believe it or not, some of us don't live off of fast food.

>>8259927

Are you implying that they did this just because someone at mondelez woke up one day and decided it would be cool to make the triangles smaller just for kicks?

There is obviously now less of the center filling and more plain chocolate.

That's pretty funny, good thing I'm not a britbong.

>>8259927

Keep defending your jew overlords.

Praised be The great Shlomo Shekelstein.

>>8259770
Toblerone is shit anyway.

>>8259999

there is no centre filling

>>8260000
Do we not have toblerones in the US?

I've never had one, so i wouldn't know.

>>8260000
>good thing I'm not a britbong.
Its a Swiss chocolate owned by a US company, what have the bongs got to do with anything?

>>8260008

Doesn't matter, I'm still right>>8260004

>yfw you see the bear

>>8259770
Does anyone remember when coca cola purchased inncocent smoothies?

They went from 1litre to 750ml, but they took a little off of the depth of the carton as to not make it look like it got skinnier

>>8259770

Unacceptable.

>>8259928
This manga looks pretty fucked up, holy shit.

>>8259770
Whats sad is peoples lack of understanding of economics. The US dollar is worth less and therefore can buy less stuff. Food companies do things like this to keep products at a stable price. The alternative is to increase the price which everyone would also complain about.

>>8260088
Or keep the product and price the same and reduce their profit margin
But we know that's not an option

>>8260099
Right, because people start businesses for the love of giving people chocolate.
Poor people are so fucking pathetic.

>>8260088
>>8260110
I find that my opinions drastically change when I'm a share holder. It goes from calling out a shill to "hey, maybe we better listen to this guy".

>>8259903
>>8259903
Kill yourself, you know nothing about economics.

Inflation statistics are the AVERAGE increase in price of all goods and services. Just because your food rose more than 1% does not make it the case for everything else.

I don't see too much wrong with this

>food companies shave cost off every bar, profits increase
>consumer eats slightly less chocolate but likely feels like it's the same
>less sugar, less diabetes, less weight

Everybody wins

>>8260146
everybody loses actually

>>8259916
This is semi-related, but my friend noticed that the larger cans of Red Bull (I don't drink it, so I can't confirm) seemed to be watered down. He prefers the smaller ones because he thinks the bigger ones are just the small ones + some water to make up the difference in volume

>>8260133
Sir Idiot to the rescue! Now, go back to mammy Neanderthal's titty and clean up the scrapes on your knuckles from dragging them through the rocks.

If this kind of shit bothers you vote with your dollars and stop buying these products. I only buy products I'm happy with.

Wiiiith triangular honey
from triangular bees,
and triangular nuts
from triangular deez.

>>8260004
>he fell for the jewoverlord meme

>>8260201

or just buy it marginally less to reflect its marginal decrease in value for money

'vote with your dollars' is such a fucking annoying overused phrase

>>8260182
yeah loses weight

>>8260202
Did you think of that all by yourself?

>>8259770
IS TOBLERONE JUST A SOLID CHOCOLATE BAR?

>>8260202
lel

>>8260133
Excremental Apologist detected!

>>8260205
>annoying overused phrase
True, but I see it like this: I have options when it comes to who gets my money. If something about a product, retail establishment, restaurant or giant fucking corporation displeases me I can adjust my spending patterns so as not to support them. In some situations this might cost me a little more in terms of time, money and effort, but more often than not it has me saving money because I'm buying less shit. For example products mentioned in this thread include Toblerone, Sarbe hummus, Red Bull and innocent smoothies. Not one of those is a product I'd every buy. Not ever buying shit like that saves me a fuckton of money. So "voting with your dollars" works great for me by narrowing down the category of Things I'd Actually Spend My Money On. It's hard to be a good little consumer if you ask yourself before any purchase, "Am I actually happy about buying thins thing at this place?" Not really is usually the answer, and that'll leave a lot more money in your pocket if you pay attention to it.

good. people who eat that shit are too fat anyway

>>8259781
>everything gets smaller
>*orders another xxl jumbo burger with a big coke and a large serving of fries*

>>8260384
An XXL Jumbo Burger is the same size as a medium 20 years ago.

>>8260397
This is not true. Fast food is one place where portion size and calorie content has generally increased over time, because customers have gotten fatter and need to eat more to feel full and get muh money's worth.

>mfw it's actually true

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>8260010
We do. I saw it at a QFC last night in Bellevue, Washington. You should see them in Kroger or QFC, whichever store is in your region.

>>8260407
Literally the opposite. The price of a big mac has tracked inflation but has consistently reduced in size. Same with the size of sodas.

>>8260358
That's not what corruption is you fucking idiot.

>>8259906
you gotta crack the tips together, not apart

>>8259770
Is food getting DLC too?

>>8260358
If you're unhappy with a product but you keep buying it then it's your own damned fault. And you really only see this with established brands where brand loyalty is so high they know people aren't going to stop buying it if the undercut the product itself just to squeeze a little more profit out of it.If this bothers you as a consumer it's time to drop your loyalty to that brand.

>>8259928
Any other food related manga you guys have

>>8260627
Wrong board, weeb-anon.

>>8260521

Yeah, but isn't that also connected with the obesity outrage?

the fat fucks that eat that shit could use a lower dosage anyways

>candy bars have fans

>>8260099
>But we know that's not an option
it's literally not for publicly traded companies

>>8259770
Bummer. I like to buy one of these from time to time since they're kinda expensive here, but I might try a new chocolate bar now.

>>8259770
>tobelrone won't hurt my hands anymore
What a time to be alive.

>>8260004
wait, are you actually saying that 150g doesn't weigh 150g because of shape?
cause that's some high level physics right there

>>8260755
Remember that when you have the choice to by from public vs privately held companies, large corporations vs smaller businesses.

>>8260514
It feels like Washington gets a ton of stuff that's rare or unheard of in other states. I just recently found out that vanilla coke is apparently pretty rare in the US outside certain states like WA.

>>8259903
Noticed that most chocolate bar manufacturers have done this since around the mid 2000's. Same price (or higher price), less product. Only companies I don't see it with are the European imports I get from the Polish store down the street. Always the same size, always the same price.

Food is getting more expensive too, but can't say if I notice it overall, or if it's just because I live in a cucked state where everything costs more than it does in the rest of the country.

>>8259797
>because will surely only affect chocolate bars and not other products the parent company and rivals own

Retard

a word to the wise: anything that says "premium" in cursive letters on it's packaging is going to suck.

everything gets shit with time. whats new?

>>8260947
Also when the packaging changes you can be sure the quantity has decreased unless they just flat out raised the price.

>>8260916

because there are so many private companies in my local area

>>8261149
You don't always have a choice. Just keep it in mind for when you do.

>Currency Devalues

>>8260947
Think about it: a premium is something you get for free, a bonus or something that sweetens a deal. In the case of beer premium beer was making a second beer out of the not quite spent grains used to make another batch of higher quality beer. It was a bonus to the brewer. In business paying a premium means paying more than something might really be worth or giving something away (a premium) as a thank you to the seller for buying your product.

Labeling products premium as an indication of superior quality is playing of the fact most customers don't have an understanding of what the word means.

>>8259770
I knew this day was coming.

>>8261674
So you now face the same crap we've been living with for 30 years in the US. God help you, he doesn't help us even with our overwhelming number of jesusfags praying ceaselessly.

This really makes me think

>tfw never had a classic toblerone

>>8261708

>>8259781
>Fanta now tastes watered down and looks like it too.
yeah wtf

toblerone suck anyway

>>8261894
You utter imbecile. My point was, unmeasured inflation due to corporate manipulation has ramifications far beyond just paying more for a particular product. You illiterate, uneducated fagfuck.

>>8259999
There's no filling in Toblerone. Just small chunks of nougat throughout.

Perhaps, you know, they did some market research and found out that little old ladies and kids had trouble breaking the pieces apart. Now it's easier. It's still a 150g bar.

Morons. I'm surrounded by morons.

>>8260806
>he counts the bar

>>8259928
Thanks for this. I was struggling to remember what they used to look like.

>>8260916

they just don't want me since i'm fat

it's not cursive so you're fine

Consecutive quads?

Pretty neat

>>8262267
do you understand how counting incrementally works?

>>8260806
You're a retard. It went from 170g to 150g.

>>8259770
Shit chocolate imho fami. Too hard to bite

I can tell you are both women seeing as you resorted to the male hate attack because you got proved wrong.

Kill yourself!

>>8259770
toblerone should have been smart and skimmed from the bottom. and maybe decrease the size of the triangle by a hair. nobody would have noticed or been upset.

>>8262290
its neat that its in the same thread
maybe less so because this is one of the less active boards though

>>8262350

That would force them to change the packaging and manufacturing process.

>>8261922
Name a better chocolate within a similar price range.

Brexit?

>>8260754
You ever eat one of these triangular fuckers? It's not like someone saying "oh, I really like Snickers bars". Toblerone is a way of life.

>>8259926
Huh. When I first thought it I thought somebody turned the setting on the machine to the wrong position and ended up with all these defective bars.

>>8260203
Strangely enough, and I'm not Jewish, I think it's going to get worse. I've read enough of Orwell's essays from the '30's to see the parallel with our times.

I also hold firm to the old addage about yadda, yadda, yadda, "and when they came for me, there was no one left to fight."

>>8262015

>>8263777
So you have a word with contradictory meanings. It can mean superior, overpriced or bonus. No wonder it's used so heavily in marketing. In that context it's pretty close to meaningless.

>>8264159
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find the original versions of these?

>>8264310
no because I found it in 1 click

>>8260004
Taking a wikipedia screenshot as indisputable truth.

>>8261111
No. The quality changes a few months after the new packaging (that says SAME RECIPE SINCE 1xxx), so that consumers don't go all new coke on them.

>>8261930
No. Just no.
They issued a press release. They wanted to reduce the weight of the product but not the overall length, so they put large gaps in between the triangles.
They'd have been better off raising the price, simply making the proportions smaller or putting less triangles length.

>>8260088
This is the most accurate answer. It's for UK sale though;
"We carry these costs for as long as possible, but to ensure Toblerone remains on-shelf, is affordable and retains the triangular shape, we have had to reduce the weight of just two of our bars in the UK, from the wider range of available Toblerone products."
However; "A spokeswoman for Mondelez acknowledged that the foreign exchange rate was currently "not favourable", but added: "This change wasn't done as a result of Brexit."
Which is partial bullshit because GBP is struggling.

>>8264838
Fuck off.
toblerone is one of those products that people buy so infrequently that they could increase the price and no one would have even noticed.

Simply do as I and take your business elsewhere.
