This just hit the wires this weekend, Cadbury's running a big scam.
I'm as shocked as anyone. But, I have to wonder, why is this getting so much attention when the Dannon debacle of 2005 went unnoticed? What debacle, you ask? Well, around that time, Dannon redid its packaging for its Fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt. They got rid of the plastic lids (that didn't really do anything, unless you tend to eat small containers of yogurt in more than one session), opting to have only the foil sealed top. However, I also noticed that the amount of yogurt decreased! Not only that, but eventually, the containers themselves got smaller. All the while, the price went up a little.
Sneaky! It was like a double price increase! Now, I'm pretty much addicted to Fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt from Dannon, it's so much more fruity and natural tasting than blended yogurts... but I was so shocked at this development that I stopped eating Dannon yogurt for a little while.
Still, I don't understand why Cadbury's move gets big press while Dannon got away with highway robbery. Maybe it's because chocolate gets more respect than yogurt. Or maybe it's a religious thing, after all yogurt isn't associated with any religious holiday. All I know is Dannon screwed me.
