Rip off Chocolate
 

We all been given the speel about the hurricane and the bananas bla bla but does anyone know why chocolate bars are such a rip off - I am a chocoholic and I pay on average 2-250 dollars for a bar.

I could buy FOUR bars for a quid in the UK??? :rolleyes:

Because you have to pay royalties to the UK for the priveledge of eating their branded chocolate Down Under (apparently). That's why I moved to the UK - for the cheap chocolate. Trouble is, it's so cheap here that you can afford to eat it all the time!

Chocolate is 25p a bar in the UK? :confused:

only in the 4 for a quid special cadbury bins. Usually a whisper or two in really gross flavours a caramel and whatever else is close to it's sell by date :(

"Mystify, mystify me". I was in Oz a few months back and I can't say I noticed any difference in the price of chocolate between the 2 countries to tell you the truth. A horrid bar of Tesco own brand chocolate will set you back 49p. If you like really good chocolate try:

Aldi have excellent continental chocolate at good prices in both UK and Oz if you don't want to pay the premium for a well known brand, they also sell Toblerone, Ritter etc.

I love them but have managed to stay off them since we got here - I know that once I have one...

but saying that have you tried the cherry bounty, ohh yum

I buy chocolate once a week, when I go shopping and the kids have to make do with what was on special ie., 99c bars which are usually mars, turkish delight, twix and sometimes bounty.

haven't eaten that much chocolate really apart from the bloody tim tams that I keep in the fridge :D
