Everything chocolate has shrunk and I understand that but why the packaging doesn't shrink given how much pollution it creates I don't understand at all

There was an article in 22nd March 2022 Thee Financial Times saying that it was not only shrinkflation was being done by food manufacturers but also with the top hoteliers including ‘both the Hilton and Marriott have made daily housekeeping services ‘opt in’ for most properties, which means guests don’t get it unless they ask.’
They also quote that Cadbury insisted a cut the size of a chocolate bar was to help tackle obesity. PepsiCo sports drink bottles were redesigned to make them easier to hold, cutting 14% of the contents

No, they haven’t toppled! They have twisted but not toppled.

Hope you weren't too disappointed with the choc fingers.

OH was observing that toothpaste tubes have shrunk recently too.

Haven’t they just toppled along the packet out of their grooves?

I just had to post a picture of the reduced chocolate finger packet. No attempt to even hide it. It used to be completely full!
And no, no one has been helping themselves to a cheeky biscuit, it was like that before opening!
