    Everyone here thinking the reason they were dropped was because the quality turned to shit after the buyout, but the main reason is their continued presence operating in Russia after their thankfully failed attempt to annex Ukraine. I’m pleased the royals took a stand. Ultimately both are good reasons to drop them.

      But how else am I supposed to show my really cool and deep personality of hating anything vaguely popular?

        I know you were trying to look sarcastic in this comment, but it’s almost funny how literal it actually is. Unfortunately it’s not actually funny and ends up just being sad

        I don’t think that not wanting enshittification of Cadbury’s mean you have a “really cool and deep personality”.

        It’s not about hating popular things, it’s about hating shrinkflation. I for one would happily pay a little more rather than have the products I love become so shit that I don’t want to buy them anyway, which is the only real power you have as a consumer.

        Cream eggs are case in point. Not only are they smaller now, but the ingredients are shitter quality and it shows.
