REVEALED: How your tin of Quality Street is half the size it was in Christmas past
THEY say it's all about quality over quantity - but perhaps not when chocolate is concerned.
Quality Street tins have been reduced in size over the years
Sweet-toothed Brits have erupted with outrage after a damning picture appeared to show how tins of Quality Street have been slimmed down over the years.
In what can only be described as a kick in the teeth to chocolate lovers, the image shows how the popular sweet tubs have now HALVED in size compared to 1988 when they weighed 1.7kg.
It has since taken the internet by storm after being posted online by Charlotte Stacey Hook, who put four tubs of Quality Street side by side.
The post has been 'liked' more than 66,000 times and has been shared 24,000 times.
The sweet treat has sparked online outrage
The picture of the Quality Street showed the tub back in 1988
She posted the picture with the caption: "Been putting the Christmas tree up, always keep my tins to put my decorations in after Christmas!
"Look how They've changed in size from 1998 till 2014! Bring back the big tins!!! Loyal Quality Street customer!!!!"
A Nestlé spokesman said: "This image does not compare like for like.
"As well as the 780g tub pictured, we also have a 1.3kg tin available which lovers of Quality Street might like to try this Christmas.
"We want to give the best possible value for money and we believe that this product is still extremely competitive."
