Woolworths You Have Done It Again - Shrinkflation on Choc Coated Dessert Sticks

Shrinkflation has struck again.
Woolworths Choc Coated Dessert Sticks
Normally anywhere between $4- $4.50, 10 sticks in total 865ml
Not too bad a good size cheap choc wedge type of deal.

Now $5, 9 sticks in total now 648ml

Not happy, and the wife won't be when she has one later.

    New recipe apparently and it's now made from 81% Australian ingredients instead of 68%.

      81% australian water woo

        Milk content: 47->39% — looking at the nutrition stats, the overall water % probably increased 10%.
        Compound Chocolate: still 20%, but they got rid of the palm oil, so now contains more coconut oil than it does sugar.

    • They were clearing out the old ones at $1 a box and really enjoyed them.
      With the new ones the taste has taken a nosedive as well.

      The Aldi ones are still good - please don't mess with these!!

        They are +13% made in Australia. With productivity in Australia expect at least 26% reduction in quality. That if you get it before it melts (which aligns with all our infrastructure projects, 2x over budgets and 3x the time estimated to complete)

        • 69% of statistics are made up.

          • @jollibot: So is our infrastructure projects in this country.

            I can see too many infrastructure projects people on here rather than building the infrastructure.

    Sounds like a story for 'A Current Affair' as they love tackling the big issues.

    Paracetamol capsules at woolies (homebrand) for 24 pack was about $1.25, Now theyre $1 and "price drop" yet only 16 in a pack now! Still a limit of 2 per transaction that was brought in during covid shortages.

      This has more to do with the TGA than Woolworths.

        Seems like they are both conspiring too rip us off.

      • Good pickup! However as the official judge in the case, I still blame woolies - burn them at the stake!

    Well it happened, the missus wanted it.
    I said honey don't blame me, things have gotten smaller, not as good as it use to be, less bang for buck.

    Firstly I was advised were I could stick it, and being so small likely would have

    Simple fix don't buy them again I have been told.

    So there you have it, never screw with a woman's thing on a stick.
    Disappointing ….and we did advise and WW of this travesty of justice.
