I think the real rip off is that they fill the wrappers with cow dung instead of chocolate

The management at Cadbury had a meeting recently, and discussed the much discussed topic of people being overweight.

The result of this meeting was a decision to do their bit to help.

They felt that they could cut 20% of the fat content of a bar of chocolate in one fell swoop.

Hence they did....

Someone then complained that people would just buy more of it,
So, to negate that factor, they implemented a price policy to also take care of that problem.
