As if to say, as if to say he doesn't like chocolate
Shall we play a game?
It's called Be Surprised By The Price of Confectionery.
While queueing to buy milk the other day, I idly perused the racks of chocolate bars near the counter. And lo, I was surprised by their prices. Not only that they now cost considerably more than my mental price list suggests, but also by differing amounts by which the costs have risen.
Accordingly, please let me know what you think the prices are (don't check, if you don't buy such things, then guess...). This game is going to be a bit odd if you live somewhere that isn't the UK, but feel free to put in local prices if there are equivalents[*] available, I'd be interested to know!
Poll
A follow-up post will, er, follow up once people have placed their guesses/displayed their knowledge. For these purposes, the prices in my local garage (which is a BP with an M&S Food in it, in Reading) are held to be correct.
[*] If there are any people reading who aren't familiar with my confectionery choices: Mars bars are universal, surely? But (just in case) they're a chocolate bar filled with caramel and nougat-y sort of stuff. Cadbury's fudge is a slim bar of fudge with a chocolate coating. Polos are hard, round mints with a hole in the middle.
[**] Normal size, ie 58g, not those whopping Mars Duos that have appeared.
[***] As ChrisC pointed out to me, the correct answer to this question is, of course, "just enough".
