    The Rowntrees site if full of people complaining about the new shape. They say the recipe hasn't changed but texture is important. The old type had a larger surface area:weight ratio so you get more flavour and a tougher chew. Now they're like small and weak fruit pastels.

    The cynic inside of me would suggest that buy making the sweets 'puffier' they can make the packets seem more filled and thus get away with shrinkflation more.

    Exactly this!
    Also, when they fill the cardboard tubes, there's now bigger air gaps and less sweets.
    Why I never buy the tubes of Fruit Pastilles or Maltesers, you only get about 10 in each tube.

    Actually, better to say that it offends your gender identity / ethnicity / anti vaccine / anti mask belief and then extort something. Being offended is big business, don't waste the opportunity
