Jaffa Cakes - anyone noticed how very small they now are?

Toblerones are the worst offenders. The gap between the triangles is huge now.

Also, I had a segment of Terry's Orange the other day, and noticed that they have shaved the segments under the rim, so the orange is the same circumference but there is a fatter bit at the top of each segment and the rest is thinner than before. Swizz.

Does that mean I can have two? 🤣🤣🤣

Two??? You can have the whole packet of Mcvities Jaffa Cakes 😂😂

They are small. I much prefer a Jaffa Cake gateau (Asda or Morrisons) every so often. I've just bought a friend some Jaffa Cake gin! (Amazon)

Oh how very dare you…….drool!

Aldi’s Jaffa Cakes are made by same producer!

I also found genuine Jaffa cakes dry and disappointing. Aldi’s are much better. And what the heck has happened to Mars Bars? A couple of bites and they’re gone!

Bought them.......tried them.......so disappointing and. nothing like I remember them to be; the whole thing was smaller, and the chocolate very much thinner. Won't be buying them again.

Everything has shrunk but I haven’t. That is the mystery.

🤣me too!

I can't remember the last time I had a Jaffa Cake. Shopping day today.........I will put some on the list and report back later

I’ve not bought either for a while (been cutting back on “goodies”) but both the Lidl and the M&S versions of Jaffa cakes are nicer, imo, than the real thing.

I prefer the M&S ones.

Good job they are small. I can go through a packet in one go watching tv in the evening 😁

Everything is going the same way, Amount down and price up at the same time! I dont often go out for coffee or anything these days but a decent coffee with that little - think it was biscotti biscuit with it, was a treat to enjoy, Now the biscuit has shrunk to about 1/4 of its old size. Not worth the bother now.

Don't know about the M&S but totally agree about the Lidl version. Aldis are nice too.

Have one of them and then a genuine Jaffa Cake and by heck what a difference. Genuine JC are dry!

I blame Brexit...

Yesterday I met my friend for a lunch at a very well like large pub chain ( not Wetherspoons) We have often eaten there and as a vegetarian I’ve always enjoyed a lovely vegetable curry. It’s decent plateful with naan bread, poppadoms, and mango chutney accompanying it …..yesterday I was looking forward to my usual curry but it had changed.
There was a vegetable curry on the menu so I headed for that it was very nice but what arrived on my plate was a small mound of rice and a couple of ladles of curry, no accompaniments whatsoever. My friend had a steak and was eating about three times as long as me. It really was a meal that would’ve suited her 10-year-old
When I got the bill it had actually gone up by nearly £2
I won’t bother again we ll go and have a proper curry at the Indian I don’t think it would cost any more

I never liked it much, but nowadays a finger wouldn’t ‘be enough’, you’d need all five fingers to get a taste!

It’s not just Jaffa cakes (which I don’t buy ) that have shrunk but almost every other treat like double deckers which are half the size they used to be. I don’t have them often and in a way it’s probably helpful given my ability to put a pound just by looking at something sweet, but it is annoying because while the sweeties shrink the prices leap.

Same with Wagon Wheels…should be renamed stabiliser wheels.

How do they get the chocolate that thin? Used be much thicker.

They could disappear entirely as far as I’m concerned😄

Everything has shrunk not just Jaffa cakes. Shrunk and cost more sadly.
