The packaging on the new one is just more efficient.
They both remove 100% of bathroom grime and limescale so they must be the same!

heckling from the back!
Two stages to this example - normal inflation ie just shove the price up {£1.39 to £1.50 in October last year}; then, in August this year, substitute a smaller bar {100g instead of 110g} ...

Quite an extensive list in this beeb item ...
It also pointed out situations where the % of certain ingredients are reduced to save the producer money ... which is the third way to actively screw the consumer.

Advanced. Forthright. Signifficant.
Fucking with recipes is far worse than fucking with the cost per unit of measurement. Infuriating.

I never buy them now, they're way too expensive and seem to last less well as compatible ones.

should try buying irish chocolate from Sainsburys
Despite much of the production being moved to Poland, Cadbury still have two factories in Ireland and a number of UK lines are still produced there - incl Wispa, Star Bar, Flake, Delights, Buttons, Dairy Milk - incl Salted Caramel and Limited Edition, Whole Nut, Selection/Gift Boxes and a portion of the Creme Egg production.
Plus a number of Irish-only chocolate bar lines.

What are these Irish only chocolate bars?!
I know Ireland has cool stuff like Taytos, Red lemonade and Barrys tea, but I'd no idea there was Irish only lines of Cadbury chocolate bars

Pretty-much they are versions of Cadbury products that we haven't seen in the UK for years. In slightly different packaging/sizing - although I don't know how many survived the closure of the third factory a few years back.

I’ve got Skol but I’m not a Scholar
When hitching a couple of decades back I got picked up by a guy who was quite senior at Cadbury’s, had a very interesting conversation about chocolate. They made flakes in Ireland because the chocolate is creamier, this is because the cow’s milk is creamier due to a different grass than in Britain. Grass is different in pretty much every country, probably why stuff in the US tastes like turd. He denied that Wispas are made from floor sweepings which is what my housemate’s Nan claimed (who worked at Bourneville) though I think his actual words were along the lines of ‘not quite’.

Yes, I remember that the availability of quality/cheap dairy was one of the factors that brought and kept them in Ireland for so long.
For a long time, you could tell the Irish flakes from other production because they kept the old twisted ends wrappers for years longer than any other factory.

Out of interest do you know of any good HP compatibles? Asking for a friend as they say ;-)

I'm afraid not. I've never had HP.

Almost every time I hear HP printers being mentioned elsewhere online, it's a total horror story. HP's reputation is well and truly in the toilet and if even half of what I've heard is true, it's thoroughly deserved.
At the very least they are fucking stupid enough to design printers that accept ink cartridges that HP claim could be potential vectors for malware. Which is why they brick your printer for using third-party cartridges. Cunts.
Fuck HP, get a Brother printer instead.

i don't have a HP printer (and have not tried using HP sauce as an alternative) but do have an ageing epson inkjet. i've been running it on compatible cartridges from these people for the last few years with no problems.
with mine, it occasionally comes up with a snarky message that i'm not using proper cartridges, but there's a 'shut up and get on with it' button. can't say if yours will be the same.
