Chocolate coins......now in Euros!

Rant? Who used my word !

Always good to get my 2 pennies worth (or cents in this case) in a rant post 

Yep - totally agree. We should have good old fashioned GBP chocolate coins like we did back in the day.

Last time i checked we were not using Euros in the UK as currency, although i dont think the kids will really take notice as long as its chocolate !

Lazy buyers from Boots i wonder or do the suppliers only stock euro choc coins?

Hmm, this could be the reason... no more Cadburys choccie coins  Thanks Kraft 

Maybe blame Aldi and Liddells for the cheap Euro coins?

As reported by the Telegraph:

The chocolate-maker said shoppers had switched to cheaper, own-brand versions sold at supermarkets such as Aldi, Lidl and Poundland, leaving its own sales in decline.

Wrapping gold foil around a piece of coin-shaped chocolate was "fiddly", a spokesman explained, while its version of the stocking-filler had proved difficult to sell without "Cadbury purple" to distinguish it.

"We are sorry to see the coins go, but that's business," the spokesman said.

We're sorry to see British companies get swallowed up by overseas conglomerates and drop traditional products, but that's business... 

hmmmm, well you would have thought that enough were sold in the uk to warrant pound versions, I just can't buy the euros ones, may have to get the marker pen out!!
