Times are hard...

We're used to the sneaky way some manufacturers reduce their pack sizes as a way of increasing their prices without actually...  well, increasing their prices.  So your bag of sweets, say, may cost you the same price as last week, but if you bother to read the package, you may find that whereas last week it weighed 120g, say, this week it's only 105g.  So I suppose we must give Toblerone some credit for transparency in that they have reduced the amount of chocolate in their bars, but done so by increasing the gaps between the "mountains" thus making it clear what they are doing.  They've still got slagged off for doing it, mind you.
