24 December - Willie Wonka

Quality Street Quality Street Quality StreetIt’s not your imagination, ‘tins’ of chocolate really do get smaller every year. My old boxes get used as bird drinking bowls, storage for old drill bits and left over cement or plaster. Hence being able to photograph those from earlier years.

Over successive Christmases the net weight has come down from 698, to 629 and now 600 grammes all at the same price. If you look carefully you will see that fat and salt content is up while fibre is down.

This year Sainsbury’s dropped their price from £5 to £3·50 for one day only and I resisted the temptation to buy more. The fact that I have one left over from last year which is only two weeks past the Best By date was a factor.

Happy Christmas to everyone.
