We've all experienced it before: whether it's the size of our favourite chocolate bars or our morning coffee cup, there seems to be some kind of shrinking going on–and, according to some supermarket shoppers, Arnott's Monte Carlo biscuits are on that list, too!

Recently, an unhappy shopper shared photos of an Arnott's 250g packet of Monte Carlo biscuits they'd purchased to 3AW radio host Jacqui Felgate.

‘Monte Carlos have always been a favourite but as you can imagine with the steep rise in the cost of living a packet has sadly become a luxury spend. So you can imagine our horror when we opened the packet this evening to a long awaited treat to this…’ the message continued.

And it seems that the concerned shopper noticed that the raspberry jam-coated layer of cream inside the iconic Australian biscuit had halved in size! Unsurprisingly, this sparked a flurry of comments, with consumers saying that they'd 'rather pay more than [have] them ruin all their biscuits like this’.

‘It’s a part of what’s called “shrinkflation”. I’ve noticed products I purchase are smaller and getting more expensive,’ one user explained.

One comment said in jest, ‘All Monte and no Carlo.’

​

But are the Monte Carlo biscuits shrinking? It seems Arnott’s is standing firm on their statement that nothing has changed with their product.

‘Monte Carlo has not changed in recent years,’ Arnott’s quality director, Rachael Miller, shared in a statement.

‘Similar to baking at home, there can be slight variations within an acceptable range. Each pack is weighed to ensure it meets the weight on the pack,’ she added.

She urged customers to share their grievances through the proper channels. ‘At Arnott’s, we pride ourselves on high-quality standards. If any consumers are unhappy with our products, please reach out to our Customer Care Team who can assist you further.’

It's been happening for many years with various products. Scotch etc used to be in a 750ml bottle then they all changed to current 700ml size. They didn't get cheaper. Now all products seem to be going the same way. I just wish manufacturers were a little more upfront about it. We have been on the planet for a long time - we the public do notice!

I have stopped buying most brands of the humble meat pie,particularly brands now owned oversea.They have reduced size increased pastry thickness and also reduced meat content to unsatisfying levels Fortunately most independent bakeries still make a good product

I make my own ,you know what’s in them and taste a whole lot better.

“Outrage” and “horror”? Seriously, people need to get a life. Finding a favourite item has succumbed to shrinkflation is merely disappointing, not the end of the world!

Now all products seem to be going the same way. I just wish manufacturers were a little more upfront about it. We have been on the planet for a long time - we the public do notice!

You might remember the pathetic "excuse" that one of the Scotch brands put up when someone queried the smaller size -- "The bottle manufacturers changed the size of their bottles." And the gullibles stood for it ...

The proper channels no doubt are in house and nobody ever hears about it. many products are suffering shrinkflation. Similar sized pack but 20gr less contents. A good old pack of potato crisps/chips was 250 gr, now down to as little as 150gr. Smiths even made a fanfare of introducing a family pack. At 320gr it was basically the old standard pack.

WTF! The damn bikkies are expensive enough without doing any form of shrinkflation. I mean $3.50 a packet - ridiculous!!! But to up the price or cut the amounts is UTTER RIPPING EVERYONE OFF!!!

 

[Gsr]

I’m sure every arnotts biscuit has shrunk by at least a third in size, some of the sweet ones are not even a mouthful anymore. It is disgraceful that they are allowed to get away with it, especially since the prices have jumped up by the same amount as the shrinkage. People will still eat as much, they just eat more of the smaller ones. It is embarrassing putting out a plate of biscuits for visitors these days due to their tiny size. Soon we will need a magnifying glass to find them on the plate.

It’s not just biscuits ,have you noticed that the burgers from outlets you will know have also shrunk ,,such as Big Mac and Quarter Pounder to name just two of many others

 

[rehandra]

Just purchased two boxes of Twinings tea. Guess what the box now has 160g where before it was 200gram

You would get 100 tea bags; now 80. The boxes the same size though. Because I bought a few when they were last on special I still had one of the old boxes so they cannot deny this one.

[Leenie]

Talking of shrinkflation does anyone remember when toilet rolls had 500 sheets and now only 180 , now that’s what I call shrinkflation.

 

[Loz.]

What a load of crap, first the biscuits became thinner, then the filling was less and now the price is more. Love Arnotts biscuits but you can find some of the same at ALDIs a lot cheaper, and just as nice.
