Nestle’s Retro Smarties Mug and Egg cost £4.99 two years ago at Tesco but is now £7 at the same store — 40 per cent up.

Fatties are like smokers and drinkers. They'll pay any price to get their fix. Hopefully a portion of profits will go to the NHS to help pay for fatty illnesses.

As Private Eye exposed, Tesco can be very creative in arranging their corporate affairs so that very, very little of their profits go to support the NHS, or anything else in Britain either.
