Posted November 27, 2007 Seriously, what is wrong with the world today? Things are getting worse ever minute, it's been happening for a while now, this beautiful world of ours slowly falling into decline, but today, today I witnessed something truly terrible, and utterly unbelievable. I was on my way to uni, skipped breakfast, so I popped into my local newsagents to get a crispy snack to replace it, went for my standard package, but as I approached the shelf I saw something incredibly horrible :shakehead :shakehead ! SPACE RAIDERS HAVE GONE UP TO 15P! Many a time have I curbed my hunger pangs with this essential schoolboy snack, handy for killing off that loose change in your pocket, but today is a very sad day for me. Feel free to use this thread to recall your fond memories of this tasty economical snack, while we all mourn our terrible terrible loss. EDIT: Damn phone camera, i thought the pictures were smaller than that! Excuse this thread if it's a bit irrelevant, but I am half serious, I really am quite shocked by this.

Posted November 27, 2007 Meh. I don't really care how much disgusting crisps that are so bad that the makers should pay us to eat them are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 those crisps got me through JUNIOR SCHOOL! ... I guess it was all a matter of time... but seriously, that's a 50% inflation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 I saw the 15p logo before i even read your text. I don't think i can go on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 as long as quarter backs stay 10p i dont care :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Same with alot of stuff though, freddos went up to 15 pence at our work place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 This is a fucking outrage. I remember Curly Wurly's used to be cheaper, as well. And, Mars Bars! I remember chocolate used to be at least 15p cheaper not more than 7 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Freddo's also went up from 10p to 15p a while ago. Outrageous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 pissed me off most when chomps went up to 15p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Same price as those accursed cheetos used to be. Its all because of that stupid inflation, profit margins and the number 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 They seriously got Freddos too? This is unbelieveable, next we'll have 10p penny sweets! I remember Curly Wurlys, though I wasn't the biggest of fans of them. I say bring back nerds and dweebs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 This is bullshit. I might buy the 10p ones I can find for selling in a few years. Surely it's going to worth its weight in gold, which granted isn't that much, but I'll add a few kg weights to sweeten the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 NOOOOOOOOOOO! Seriously, these are the first warning signs that our economy is on the verge of utter collapse. As well as this new shocking revelation I discovered a couple of years back that penny sweets now cost..........two bloody pence! We need action now. If we ignore this now it's only a matter of time before we're living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland trading shoes with human bone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Curly Wurly's used to be 20p, now they're 35p. It's all a load of bollocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 27, 2007 Yeah it's retarded, like chomps, freddos, etc. Used to be an easy way to get rid of a loose 10p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 27, 2007 I thought they were 20p now anyway, bought a bag a few weeks ago and was shocked to see they'd doubled in price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 27, 2007 I thought they were 20p now anyway, bought a bag a few weeks ago and was shocked to see they'd doubled in price. There's a 20p bigger bag, when I told my mate he refused to believe it wasn't a bigger bag I'd bought. I wonder if they've put that up as well actually... Dante, when were they even 5p? They've been 10p since as long as I can remember! What's all this nonsense about penny sweets being 2p too? My local newsagent guy still sells most of his stuff for a penny, though they do seem a bit smaller... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
