Cadbury Favourites is the latest product to be hit with the dreaded shrinkflation phenomenon, but it seems like Aussies are more divided with the change in range over the change in size.
Now I think I can speak for most Aussies when I say we FROTH over a Favourites box. It has everything your tastebuds could desire, including Picnic, Dairy Milk, Flake, Cherry Ripe and Dream. It’s literally the perfect collection of Aussie choccies, and I would go as far as to say that it is a no-fail gift for any occasion.
However, a Reddit post has changed the game for lovers of the variety box.
A user, who goes by u/milkandvaseline, posted a photo on the r/Australia subreddit comparing the OG Favourites to the new ones.
“Shrinkflation has reached Favourites,” the user wrote. They then went onto the biggest, most shook-to-the-core-worthy part of the news. “Dream and Flake now replaced with Caramilk and Twirl.”
UMM, EXCUSE ME? Dream was for the baddies, and Flake definitely gave me nostalgia, especially because it was a part of the Maccas menu for the longest time.
