Quality Street:
1980s: The standard tin was 1.7 kg
2010s: A 780 g tub was available, but Nestlé also offered a 1.3 kg tin
2017: The tub size was reduced from 780 g to 750 g
2018: The tub size was reduced again from 750 g to 720 g
2019: The tub size was reduced to 650 g
well, we've been getting screwed by corporations for hundreds of years. This is no different. Just greed, plain and simple.
@@Regi869 it's capitalist profit-maximization
@@kosmosfaber6534 or daylight robbery
My memories from these tins would be you'd buy one early December and they would last till new years
Have you seen a bar of Cadburys chocolate... As thin as a postage stamp... What a joke... We just walk away...
Wagon Wheels have become scooter wheels.
..I'd say skateboard wheels
They need to put some chocolate back on them they were great in the 70's.
Lol
When your Nans knitting supplies can't fit in a tin of Quality Street anymore you know theres a problem.
Or all the loose Lego
I can still see the old metal Quality street tin my mom stored her sewing stuff in. lol.
The knitting supplies is now a sewing kit
Danish biscuit tin
or your grandads old johnny collection.
Rather than just increasing the price they increase the price but lower the amount you get
and they also increase the size of the wrappers on the sweets to try and fool you into thinking that the tub looks more full and also increase the overall weight
Welcome to shrinkflation, it's the same with supermarket bacon.
Shrinkflation its disgusting and this is what happens when U.S corporations buy British Brands.
Dude, Mars has been a joint US/UK brand since before WW2.
@mrModamanReviews American chocolate and confectionery isn’t a patch on britains or at lease what we used to have before US corporations took over - these gangster bastards have asset stripped their way across Europe and have left devastation wherever they have gone .
Anything the US touches is fuked
@@MrModamanReviews not concerning cadburys, it's gone downhill since penny pinching Mondelez took over
Stop buying them. We stopped buying crisps chocolate any of this crap. Rump steak is often cheaper per kilo.
Solid comment. Not on the stopping. Just on the price comparison to steak
@@zzhughesd the way I look at it is, if you keep buying their products you are justifying them ripping you off. And sugar and seed oils are killers.
I love this comment but just thinking of the children waking up to find rump steak under the tree😂😂😂😂
@@ScottishT lol. You don't know my kids.🤣
Used to love Cadbury chocolates, now when I eat it my stomach cramps up and can't handle it from all the crap they put into it
I remember in the 70s mum buying a tin of Quality street in the tins about 3 times bigger than they are today plus there was more variety and the chocolate did taste better in my opinion,today’s tubs are just a joke.
DON'T BUY THEM!!!! Don't buy anything that you feel is overpriced or a rip off! That's the way you win and they loose! Very simple and effective!
In 2021 Simon I bought 2 tubs of quality street on a 2 for £7 deal I think it was. On arriving home my curiosity got the better of me and I opened both tubs, poured one into the other, and with a little shake the lid went straight on!
I think they did this gradually to reduce the contents by selling us thin air. Now that’s normalised, they’ve gone for a reduction in packaging costs.
Because we buy them once a year they think we won’t notice…
They now want to reduce the size of a pint of bear down. To I think it was 2 thirds of a pint. These companies are always taking the piss. Selling you less for more money.
Can't say I'd like to try and bring down even a bear> 🐻, 😳🤯😱☠️, lolz 😅🤣😂
They get around it now by describing it as a, 'glass', of beer, rather than a pint, in the hope you won't notice.
Quality Street used to come in a bucket, Roses in a churn...now it's just pathetic.
You can still get Quality Street Chocolate Tin 1.936kg but retailers like Tesco and Asda prefer to stock rip off Celebrations dont buy rubbish buy quality.
Aldi’s and Lidl’s will probably do their own band tubs with their own chocolates in a tub the size we remember when we were younger.
Wish they we would... I reckon there missing a trick there..
@@alanwilkinson9487 yeah so all their chocolates down the isle, the fake milky ways, the fake mars bars etc…..all of it in a massive tin tub
I’d buy Aldi hazelnut chocolate it is absolutely beautiful & at a fraction of the price it’s a steal .
I hope so because I love aldi the only shop I go to.
@@janice506it is yummy
Disgrace we just. get the pee took out of us for everything in the UK.
It the multi packs that you see as well they try to hide tiny bars under the wrapper you need to eat the whole pack just to get what u used to have
Saw a multipack of crisps in lidl a few days ago and the bags were 13g each - what’s the point
Yes, you used to get full size bars in the multipacks. I bought some Mars Bars and Rolos in multipacks last week and was shocked at the size of them.
I’m always wary about ‘new and improved recipes’ too. I bet the improvement is usually in their bank account
Greed is a horrible thing because they were making money in the 20th century using quality chocolate in decent metal tins. Metal tins that lasted for years that people could keep using for other things.
Exactly
The excuse is always we are too fat yet the tub was 1.7kg in the 80s and were much slimmer back than.
Quality street occasionally still make a kilo tin but they don't taste anything like they used to, it has a chemical smell to it.
Complete shit, not human food, Nobody should eat it, 90 % of stuff in the supermarket is a cocktail of chemicals! A complete disaster for human health.
That's the Butyric acid they use in manufacture, now. Some people say it makes it take like vomit.
I don't buy anymore ..they say about plastic waste. There's nothing in them😡
My 2020/21 roses plastic tub with march 2022 expiry date is 600g net 613g including wraps.
I used love Cadbury chocolate, now I never buy its rubbish,i also only buy crisps from independent companys, same with my beers , don't drink anything from MACRO brewerys, plenty of regional independent, were i live up in Gods own country,we have Samuel Smith's, Timothy Taylor, Theakston black sheep,
The crap fake beer is the biggest crime
Avoid most beer with the - Sold under license tag
Loud and clear. I’ve been ranting about this for years. 👍👍
Noticed the celebrations a month back. Soon they'll be two lids with a couple of sweets in the middle.
Rip off.
Simple don't buy, when they sales fall they might change the policy
Totally with you here Simon. I’m about your age. I remember the massive Christmas tins of quality street. Was only a Christmas treat but you could remember the luxury of that time. Likely 1980s the wrappers the choice of amazing flavours that were retired decades ago. I refuse to buy so called quality street anymore as they are just generic rubbish and they don’t even use the shiny wrappers anymore. The whole point of buying a family treat is now gone :(
Excellent video Simon glad you highlighted this you should do more of this type of thing!
Just found a Roses tin and it is 975g. I have found a plastic Roses plastic tub, which is 600g and a Celebrations plastic tin which is 650g. I think it supports exactly what you’re saying!
Annoying i know m8t ...ive noticed a lot of multi packs of crisps with most bags barely half full will less than 10 crisps in !!
The chocolate is horrible as well. Just palm oil full of sugar very little cocoa in it. We just had a tub of Cadbury heroes (got it on a deal). Just sugary crap. Pointless.
Chocolate now has a nasty aftertaste, won’t buy.
They use Butyric acid in the manufacturing process now. Which some people say makes it taste like vomit.
chocolate & beer don't mix.... try a white cider review Frosty Jacks etc
That is quite ridiculous I remember when the Cadbury heroes tins were like 1.5kg back in 2004 and now even they gone smaller aswell
It's happening to everything 500g tubs of Flora now reduced to 450g quote "to help the consumer in the cost of living crisis". Shower gel bottles were 750 ml now 675ml.
It’s the greedy supermarkets they want product giving
We use to buy a tins of Quality Street and Roses every Xmas in the early eighties and the tins were 2.2kg for £5 each. We still have a couple of those tins which we use to keep stuff in.
The 1.7kg mentioned above must have been in the late 80's which is when we stopped buying them. To be fair £5 in the 80's is brobably worth £20 today.
Cadburys chocolate isn't even original cadburys they have changed the ingredients content and also added extra sugars to save money
Your totally right👍,..
It's really annoying how they cut the size but still get the full price on these products & yet the quality is also gradually deteriorating.
If not now but soon it'll be the price will then increase, making our favourite treats less affordable. ,..
Bring back the days of Woolworths!!
We've been living in rip of Britain for years now. Everything has got smaller/price has gone up. Greed is king it seems.
Stop buying end products from corporations.
I get particularly angry about the price of a McDonalds cheese burger since I left school. I said if they ever hit £1 I’d never have one again and so it is.
Yeah but they must put class A drugs in their cheeseburgers as I keep going back.
Don’t but them . Boycott them this Christmas then big billionaire companies trying to take us for mugs . I buy the bags myself usually supermarkets do 2 for a fiver .
They should rename them Mars Commiserations🙄
We recently bought a bag of Cadburys misshapes from a Cadburys store in an outlet village recently it was 95% full of cheap to make fudge bars. We feel that we have been conned.
Hate fudge so much and they put them in those plastic tubs as well and they are the last ones left no one likes them
My mum used to work at mackintoshs (nestle) she used to get a 5kg bag from the company shop for £1 back in the 1980s..
When she left in the 1990s the bag had gone down to 2.5kg for £2.50 .. there's no company shop now in Halifax for retired workers
Ah yes the good old days
Share price and executive bonuses outstrip the need to have a shop for retired employees
Liquorice Allsorts not same anymore either
There’s hundreds of things I have stopped buying because of this. This why I’m so skinny 😅
Coco futures tripled in price this year, it's a combination of price inflation & poor crop yields.
People need to get some will power, get stubborn and stop buying stuff they don't need. If people keep buying what they're selling, they'll keep increasing the price and reducing the size.
My wife picked 4 of these tubs up ready for Xmas 😮 they soon went back on the shelf when she realized they are now half the size 😂😂😂
Roses and quality street are the same and told cost of living and inflation but costing more and less in tin your not alone Simon hope u and family ok
The scam started with the metric weights and measures
They shrink the tub/packs/boxes for the same price, because you won't buy them at the price required. It's called inflation. But you have one too. In your armoury.....choice. So you take it or leave it. My Quality Street from the 80's (I think) is 1.2kg. and they cost about £4 then. That £4 is now equivalent to about £24.50. My Asda is selling 600g tin for £5, so 2 x 600g tins for £10 is a real term saving of £14.50. A bargain.
Another great video bach, all the best from Coventry City
take a look at a 4 pack of boosts, they're pathetic!
The major situations is.... Everyone complains about such situations of products......! However, people complain/moans about it, they still buy these products.......!! So complain by not buying such products.....!
I remember as a child putting my hand in the tin and not reaching the bottom. I was one of seven and there were plenty to go around. I don't buy them now as a sixty three year old.
Don't buy. That's what I do. I deprive myself in order to get my point across, only everyone else stills buys so the companies carry on and then people complain. But unless people boycott, then nothing will ever change.
There should be a commission set up where they can investigate the balance between foodflation and greedflation. Things have changed so much since 2020
Roses have wrapped their chocolates differently so you end up with a lot of air in the rapper’s.
Just stop buying this stuff the mantra should be, "Not a Penny More" the plastic container is probably worth more than what's inside. Bought some Cadbury's chocolate last week first for a long while it tasted terrible threw most of in the bin. As for the beer my Aldi stopped selling Steinhauser for some time and only recently started selling again, now I know why something else I won't be buying again. Good video again
Really came home to me as I take sandwiches to work. Tin of tuna would thickly cover two sandwiches. Tin now a third full of oil/ brine/ plain water, so careful to get a thin covering on the bread. Likewise barmcakes are now small baps. Used to have two now can eat three.
I buy Aldi’s canned tuna & mix with mayonnaise. I get 4-6 sandwiches out it .
They call it marketing, almost every one else would call it kidology.
Not just the quantity, buy anything marked 'improved' means lesser quality. They think we do not notice although I did get caught out by purchasing pea protein burgers but just the once.
Keep away from Doritos damaging….stick with nuts
I love nuts especially the roasted ones yum.
I keep my modelling paint pots in a vintage Roses tin... 1.3kg incl wraps
You are not alone my friend.
Half the tub Simon 🍬 , but the same price , unbelievable, Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪
I recently was searching online with Sainsbury's and was put off by what few reviews there were of which most reported that these Tubs had way less content than before, so I chose not to buy.
Also there's a growing trend of excessive charges that inherently come with many delivery companies that Supermarkets are now using such as: delivery fee✅️ Service charge ❌️ and even trying to get tips BEFORE you even receive the goods ( JustEat ) of which, McDonald's were forced to Bag orders and seal them owing to the ( Missing items )!
I should point out many ordered items such as coffees/ice creams/ etc can sometimes be found Damaged in transit or if not sealed correctly could still see products contaminated!!!😱
I’ve given up on big brand chocolate: Costs ever more, weighs ever less, and tastes ever worse.
Not only do they reduce the size, but they also reduce the quality. Chocolate these days is crap compared to how it was - my favourite was always Galaxy, but I very rarely eat chocolate these days because of the crap quality.
I’d love to know the price equivalent of the old, big tins of Quality Street against what we get today - is the comparative price the same?
I’ve noticed that- I bought a galaxy caramel big bar last weekend and it was the first time I’d bought one in a long time, it tasted very funny. I couldn’t finish it because it tasted so strange.
Have you also noticed how the alcohol content of beers seems to be dropping?
You can get some decent size chocolate, crisps and biscuits at a reasonable price in Aldi and Lidl.
The chocolate is better than cadburys as well
Not chocolate but my Dad has always drank filter coffee. He has a container that originally the ground coffee just fitted. He noticed that suddenly....recently the bag of coffee was no longer filling the container. The answer...the bags of a well known brand have gone from 227g down to 200g. So know he buys own brand which are still 227g.
Beer quality has gone down hill lately.
Visiting a friend's aunt's house (are my apostrophe's correct?) would usually end up in seeing a tall rusty Quality Street/Roses tin in your vision in a back room.
Did it contain:
a) Chocolates from a bygone Christmas
b) Knitting equipment
c) Found buttons
d) LEGO
e) A foetus
I was never was brave enough to open said tin(s)
Ive stopped buying these things with the whole shrinkflation, its getting stupid now, like they take us all for mugs
I had a few steinhauser earlier too. Great value and very drinkable.
" My God, now they don't even want you to eat them " 😂😂
Tonys chocolate is vey good.
I refuse to buy Kettle Chips anymore since they reduced the size to 130g from 150g, but charge the same, sometimes more for the privilege.
Dead right to call this out. Best strategy is to find a photo of the latest Celebrations tub and an original tub then stick them both on an email to Customer Services saying nothing else but 'No.'. Same with Steinhauser and anything else simultaneously degraded in quality and raised in price.
Primula tubes of prawn cheese back in the 1970’s, I seem to remember they contained 15% prawns, sad person that I am. I would sit in my girlfriends mothers house and she would give me cream crackers with Primula prawn cheese on them. I would sit there munching away reading the tube. One time the tube was blocked, after some effort a big part of a prawn came out. Fast forward to today and I can’t even seen any specks of prawn in the tube anymore, or taste prawn for that mater. The prawn content is now 8%, recently dropped from 9%. A few years back it was 10 or 11%. We are been programmed to accept less and poor quality. I have now stopped buying them as I have the chocolates you refer to. This is straight out of the George Orwell playbook 1984. As an aside, the only product I can think of that tastes the same now as it did over 40 years ago is Vimto. Strange one I know but there it is.
Called Shrinkanomics, you pay more for less!
The sight of these tubs just turn my stomach now. Virtually no coco left in there, just pure sugar and condensed milk. When are KP going to launch a snack selection box?! 😉😉
A lot of this has to do with the Sugar Tax as well. It's not entirely shrinkflation alone.
Just bought a tin of McVviities biscuits, the plastic insert inside the tin have been raised up to take space where biscuits should be, an old household name McVities you should be embarrassed, great video 👍
Blame Capitalism and Shrinkflation. Stop funding big companies and buy from indy producers (Same as with your Beer)
You think that's bad Simon I fancied some celebrations last week and was in co op ended up paying £6.50 for a tub the woman behind the counter even knew it was an embarrassing rip off and said to me you do know these aren't on offer and are £6.50 I said ahh ye I know it's alright 😂 absolute daylight robbery glad you have done this video because it needs showing how much we are been robbed silly
In fact the Quality Street tin in the 1980's was a 1.7kg tin!!
I don't buy them any more... It's a ripoff, and you don't like half of them...
Don't buy anything that's shrunken. If They don't want our business, they should accept we won't be giving them any..
Don't buy.
Simple.
I stopped buying choc bars just after the Ukraine(US/NATO proxy) conflict started.
That is when prices shot up and food sizes got smaller.
I used to buy a 1.81kg bag of Farmfoods fries for £0.79.
Up until a few weeks ago they were £1.99.
Surprisingly when I went to FF yesterday the fries had gone down to £1.59!!!😂👍🇮🇪🇷🇺
It won’t be long before each sweet will come in it’s own plastic tub.
If you are thinking of the big tins of Quality Street / Cadburys Roses back in the 1970's, they were 2.5KG of chocolates - 2,500 Grams.
Yes as a teenager in the Seventies I sure do remember the 2.5 kg. Tins of quality st and the tins of roses . I never buy them now
Only way to beat theese companies is to stop buying them. Walkers crisps Heinz soup, beans beans and sausages . Buy super markets own brands.
Stopped eating anything like that ages ago , tried having 2 cans of coke and 2 chocolate pudding things and it was like i was poisoned. You also never crave thise things when you stop, they're designed to get you addicted to eating more of it
In the 1980's a tin of Quality Street was a whopping 1.7kg in weight. It's an absolute joke what you get now in rip off Britain. Just stop giving these greedy corporations your money folks.
We went to the war museum in Salford/Manchester and it was a good look around until we got to the Ireland troubles section when I shouted at the top of my voice to my wife across the hall to come and see this, when she got to me with the curious interest of everyone in ear shot I pointed out and said look at the size the mars bars used to be. It was huge. Same if you buy a snicker ice cream in Spain or canary islands they are massive compared to ours in the UK.
In the late 80s a tin of Quality Street was 1.7kg
Stop buying their crap simple.
Simple answer , don't by overpriced stuff
They used to be 5lb tins did you over Christmas and New Year, lucky if you get past Christmas Eve with that tub.
£6 in my Asda. Makes me sick 😂😂 Any alternatives for Christmas ?
