Despite Easter still being nearly two months away, supermarket shelves are already filled with chocolate eggs for the occasion with shoppers stocking up on the treats.
But chocolate giant Cadbury has come under fire after making a change to its Easter eggs this year that has left some shoppers fuming. It seems that the popular eggs have been the target of shrinkflation, with several of Cadbury's favourite chocolate goodies getting smaller - despite costing the same or even more than before.
A medium Wispa Easter egg, for example, is priced at £3 just like last year, but has been reduced from 224g to 183.5g. Similarly, the Cadbury Flake egg now weighs 231.8g down from 249g but now costs £5, while the Dairy Milk Freddo Faces egg has shrunk from 122g to 96g but has increased in price from £1 to £1.25, the Manchester Evening News reports.
