    Chocolate is grown outside the EU so why does it make a fecking difference?

    Oh and if Cadburys makes the bars smaller then they won't get in trouble with the sugar tax.

      Because Brexit explains everything, even though nobody knows what Brexit actually means.
      You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.

        Something to do with the small matter of depreciating currency. Get used to it.

          They're just following Toblerone's lead....

            In case you hadn't noticed, they've been shrinking quantities for years (and keeping the price the same). Anyone who buys a tin of Quality Street (or the Cadburys equivalent - Roses?) at Christmas can tell you that. It used to be around 1kg, now it's probably about half that. The price hasn't changed much though. You should be more worried about the impending hike in nut prices.

              Quite frankly if this leads to the nation eating less fat and sugar, then it's a good thing.

                On the basis that anything Cadburys make has so little actual chocolate in it, your wish may well be granted. Plenty of sugar and chocolate flavouring, but sweet bugger all actual chocolate.

                  And if it just leads to the nation having less money on fruit and veg?

                    I prefer my chocolate, or choco-fat in the case of Cadburys, without nuts.
