  If they reduce the contents of these tins much further, we'll have to take our own chocolates in to fill the tins ourselves to make the journey worthwhile

  Anyone remember when tins needed a fork lift to get them home, Wagon wheels were the size of a small horse, a crate of beer had a gozillion cans, kids respected their elders, a bobby could clip you round the ear and nobody on HUKD's moaned like an old fart? lol

  Wouldnt buy them now out of principle, they keep getting smaller so not even worth the money any more, when I was little my mum would get a tin of these at xmas and they would last for weeks with the whole family sharing them. the tin was much bigger and a real treat, now there everywhere on offer all the time they dont seem so special .

  Are tin eight getting smaller? I thought i t was nearly a kg, now down to 800g. You wait it be like the crisp, and ither things they reduce weight, keep package size the same, and stil charge you same price.

  I have an old Quality Street tin I keep bits and bobs in. Contents were 2.18kg (two and a half times bigger than this year's). My kids saw it in the cupboard recently and their jaws dropped.

  Those 2kg+ tins were special size and the current ones should not be compared with them. It has shrunk from 1.2kg to 0.8kg which is still 33% reduction in just 5 years.

  At least they are not artificially inflating the price to £10 like last year yet. But you wait next month Tesco will have these at £8 buy one get one free.

  Nope. My tin comes from the 1970s when they REALLY were that size as standard. The 'special size' editions were later ones that were commemorating how they used to be.

  Ah. May be they are doing us a favour by reducing size of the tin so we eat less unhealthy sweets :-)
  
  Nappies packs are another classic example where price of pack remains same but the pack becomes smaller. The Economy packs are almost becoming the carry pack, the mega pack now is like a jumpo pack for Huggies. I can imagine the carry pack will become a pouch to keep in the purse in few years :-)
