They used to be 10p, for ages and ages.
Now, gone up to 15p, 50% increase. Surely not inline with inflation.
I blame the Gnomes of Zurich, Wall Street and The "Bankers" of England.
You can get a Curly Wurly for 20p...

    Best straight from the fridge when drinking a cup of tea a it last twice as long.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Same fridge logic with lemon Refreshers. If they're warm, they get stringy/sticky.
    Sherbet filling makes a right mess of my car seats!
    Still not convinced with the new flavours though...

    This is utter madness! That 5p difference was the only reason to chose a chomp over a fudge!

    This is too much! ...someone hold me... :(

    Still one of the best ways to spend 15p though. What else can you get for that?
