I had the pleasure of munching a couple at an Indian restaurant at the weekend, it seems the individual size has increased .

However I did not see box and query if this  combines with some repackaging/under-voluming which now means one pays the same for less product?

I will of course check this out (against memory) when next in a premium supermarket but wondered if any other forum members had undertaken research in this important area?

As long as you don't put the empty envelope back in the box.

That's a ****s trick.

After Eights - the chocolate you give to people you don't really like very much.

Always leave the envelope in the box.

This ensures that the voodoo of there always being one left works.

Putting the envelope back is fine as long as you have a system. The empties get filed on one side of the box so you can easily get a minty treat out.

But there's always a renegade who spoils it by inserting empty sleeves in crazy places.

Ah.

They may indeed have been fakes. There was a wee gold clock logo on each envelope. As it was a decent restaurant (albeit not up to Flashy's standards) I'd assumed it was the genuine article.

I'll have to do some research, I'll report back.
