Cadbury's drops two chocolate Fingers from packs

Packs of Cadbury's Chocolate Fingers have apparently been reduced by 11g



A pack of Cadbury’s Fingers never lasts long – but you may find the chocolate treats disappear even more quickly than usual from your cupboards now, as the firm has removed two Fingers from its boxes.

Packs of the biscuits have been cut by 11g, which equates to around two fingers, to a new weight of 114g, the Daily Mail reported.

Faced with escalating cocoa and production costs, many confectioners have reduced the sizes of their snacks in recent years, though the price often stays the same.

Cadbury’s provoked outrage earlier this year when its multi-packs of six Creme Eggs were replaced with boxes of five.



Although labelled as a Cadbury product, Fingers are made under license by a Saint Albans-based company, Burton’s Biscuit Company. Over a billion of the biscuits, which were launched in 1951, are consumed in the UK every year.

Burton’s told the Dail Mail that the wholesale price of the packs has been reduced to reflect the fact there were now 22 Fingers instead of 24, but it is usually at shops’ discretion whether to change their own prices. A spokesman for the company told the Telegraph that the company would issue a statement on the matter later today.

In 2012, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) revealed that British chocolate bars had been reduced by around 10 per cent in just one year while prices remained the same, leading the ONS to warn that customers were facing inflation “by the back door”.

Although rising costs are commonly cited as the reason for such reductions, some confectionery companies also claim to be trying to fight obesity. Last year, chocolate giant Mars shrunk its Mars and Snickers bars as part of pledge to cut the calorie content of its single-serve products to a maximum of 250 calories.

Saharan dust reaching the UK gets in the news quite regularly, usually unfavourably in connection with pollution events.

Desert dust is one of several types of minute particles, called aerosols, that are emitted into the atmosphere including volcanic ash, carbon, salt and soot from fires.

Human made aerosols, such as CFCs and sulfate aerosols from the burning of fossil fuels, are infamous for destroying the ozone layer and causing climate change but 90% of atmospheric aerosols have natural origins and they all contribute in major ways to the global weather machine.

The aerosols constantly floating around in the air that we breathe are usually made up of a complex mix of particles clumping together in a, usually, invisible soup that we are unaware of most of the time.

One of the reasons I know so much about what goes on in the black communities of England

I know that Jamaicans HATE white people with a passion

But those from the smaller West Indian islands are different and Smallies HATE Jamaicans

West Indians HATE Africans

And Africans HATE other Africans who come from different tribes

So England ends up with black only council estates on which a great deal of fighting takes place between the different ethnic and tribal groups of black people

[Anthea]

The Black South Africans frequently attack Black people who come into their country from other African countries

They accuse them of stealing jobs from South Africans

Black Africans in South Africa have a long history of inter tribal conflict

Mandela and his tribe slaughtered many black people from different tribes even attacking black shopping malls and markets

Where is all this leading you might ask yourselves

KURDISTAN

I see comparisons

The Kurds are far too kind and generous for their own good

Kurds have given refuge to almost everyone who has asked for Kurdish protection

Kurdistan probably has 2 MILLION such refugees

Erbil is starting to develop no-go Arab neighbourhoods

Arab refugees - who have fled their home due to the Islamic State - are often hard-up and desperate for work and will work for a much cheaper rate of pay

Similar to the problems South Africa has - and which has lead to a great deal of inter-tribal violence

Similar to the problems many European countries have with illegal immigrants and those from other parts of the EU where the wages are much less

Kurdistan cannot cope - it's infrastructure cannot cope - it's youth WILL NOT tolerate the Arab invasion

[Piling]

That's the difference with Kurds : they had no ethnic hate but tribal inter Kurdish conflicts before and now they replace tribal wars by political hate each others.

In short : Kurds do not hate no one but themselves. Kind and generous with ennemies, terrible each others.

[Londoner]

Kurds are culturally more secure than some other people in harsh environments.
Kurdistan environment has two advantages:

1- Kurds are surrounded by mountains. This provides a sense of security because mountains represent a secure shelter.
2- Agricultural land of Kurdistan is reach enough to sustain every one comfortably.

These two factors create a sense of stability and security, which creates a culture of tolerance and coexistence.

Compare these with desert dwellers for example.

A desert dweller lives in a harsh environment with scarce resources. He has to fight to survive. he lives on a plain land exposed to any threats as far as eyes can see. This leads to distrust and a sense of a strong insecurity, which creates a culture of intolerance.
