    It's hardly something that's available everyday at those prices. You also have to be at the particular store at that particular time....a few minutes eithee way and you've missed it. Not a story, and definetly not a headline.

    Beware of ‘shrinkflation’: How to spot subtle rip-offs at the supermarket before it's too late!

    Cadbury used to have a Family block 250g, however that was probably 20 year's ago, so they've been doing it for a long time already.
