In other news, have you noticed that multi-pack crisps now contain 2 big crisps and a handful of bits?

I'm sure they used to be the same size as the regular packets, which now cost over 50p

(They were 2.5p when we went decimal - should I retire to a home for the bewildered yet?)

CUK, is a home for the bewildered.

So your in the right place.

The mars bars has shrunk so much in size (length & width) that atw told me it resembles fullyautomatrix's erect member and is only about 5cm long!

Here's a question for you!

Indeed, certainly big enough to be two of them.

What would that be?

Mars bars, Yorkie and Greggs

Yes, things are getting smaller, so how are we getting fatter

‘Mars bars used to be bigger and could actually fill you up.’ And he pointed out that Yorkie bars – once advertised as ideal for burly lorry drivers – are ‘no longer big enough for truckers’.

Nestle chiselled 14 per cent off a Yorkie, reducing it from 64.8g to 55g, while the 65p price has stayed constant. At its peak, in 2000, it weighed 70.4g. A Mars bar, selling at 59p, has shrunk 2.5g to 58g.

Bakery chain Greggs ... It has cut the meat content of its Steak Bake pie by 15 per cent, while keeping the price at £1.35.

Greggs the baker was a little vague, saying its Steak Bake recipe had been altered. It said: ‘The recipe was changed over a year ago. The new Steak Bake also has a reduction in salt.’
