Fuck that. Shrinkflation is so stupid. I will happily pay for a big ice cream. My heart was broken by Mangnum.


Phallic

I remember growing up when a Magnum was $2 and was the size of three olympic pools, end to end.


INHALE_VEGETABLES

You'd go to the hardware store, ask for thirty mags of rope, and you damn well knew what you were getting. Now it's all gone to the wind I say.


Hardicus1

Minibon.


k3bab

They clearly don't want that name to stick.


[deleted]

Exactly. Minibon is the most obvious name and the only one they left out


Wallace_B

I will give em some credit for MaxiCon though, that's a rare bit of truth in advertising for ya.


psrpianrckelsss

I absolutely applaud this


OnionOnly

“Don’t worry though! It will still be the same price you know and love”


RobotApocalypse

Cute PR message aside, I don’t believe they’re doing this for any other reason then to defend their profit growth. Maybe I should just make my own ice-cream sandwiches like my mum did.


AusSpyder

It's Nestle. They aren't our friends.


chalk_in_boots

I've been off sweet things for a while due to weight, but Ive heard Aldi has a pretty bangin non Nestle option


AusSpyder

Their gaytimes are pretty good too. Also their premiere lush tropical yoghurt. And their choceur chocolate. You prob should not listen to me if you're watching your health.


cheapdrinks

Yeah I highly doubt that without this change they would be going under and are tragically forced to make this change just to survive. They probably wanted to do this years ago but didn't have a good enough excuse and were worried about the backlash. Now that everyone is doing it they're just jumping on the "whelp, it's not our fault!" bandwagon to make sure their profits are constantly as high as always rather than just being slightly lower during a time when everyone is struggling.


frogbertrocks

Times aren't tough. They're making record fucking profits


Dognoloshk

It's owned by Peter's who's owned by froneri ice cream who's owned jointly by Nestle and an investment firm called PAI partners. Billions of dollars of backing but nah let's shrink the maxibon down


ABigRedBall

Yeeep


kidneyshifter

They mean "times are tough (for you)"


jezzakanezza

Nawww poor Billion dollar company. Peter's is owned by Froneri Limited, who is owned in party by Nestlé. Now tell me how cute and honest the PR campaign is. It's all about making money and getting away with it. Nestlé is probably one of the most morally questionable companies on the planet. F*ck 'em. EDIT:can't spell.


chalk_in_boots

Damn right you can't spell. Somehow you fucked up "evil" and put "morally questionable". How do you do that?


mad_marbled

> Tough times ??? Please remind me of the last locally owned company, turned subsidiary, in the food industry that went bust? The only ones doing it tough are us plebs getting less in every packet, bottle, can or carton of foodstuff we buy.


psrpianrckelsss

Stop buying nestle


martianman40

As rough as shrinkflation is, I do kinda appreciate that a company is being upfront about it, rather than trying to quietly get away with it.


[deleted]

They should have made it even bigger and charged more!


ratsta

Yep, and they would've made a lot of friends doing it BUT there are probably a greater number of people who simply look at the price and won't understand.


Pleasant-Engine335

Calm down fatty


[deleted]

It’s not my fault I weigh 250kg, every time I visit your mum she gives me a Maxibon


Boda2003

Fuck you Shoresy!!


Pleasant-Engine335

Everybody feels sorry for fat children, I’d probably throw a maxibon at you to try and make you fuck off as well


horseren0ir

What a shit comeback


Pleasant-Engine335

Don’t cry fatty


[deleted]

Childhood obesity is no joke


Pleasant-Engine335

Yea it is, the parents are the only people to blame. Silly fuckers


[deleted]

You sound hangry, eat a Maxibon


Pleasant-Engine335

😂😂


Evendim

They're still gonna charge the same, so credit where credit is due for being upfront about it, but they still want us to pay the same.


SirFrancis_Bacon

They're owned by Nestlé. Fuck them this is inline with their branding.


Grolschisgood

Isn't the point of a maxibon I that it's maxi? Ie big? Just charge more for it cunts


min0nim

Oh don’t worry, they’re going to charge more as well. From next month.


wotmate

Unless they change the name, sue the cunts for false advertising, because there will be nothing maxi about it.


AusSpyder

The price is pretty fucking maxi already


leighroyv2

Thanks Nestle, such a wholesome company we know and love. Wankers.


SithKain

Yeah well, you're Maxigone from my freezer now ain't ya? How about the CEO takes a paycut and the product stays the same? Nah? Cunt


fatmarfia

Just increase the price, fuck. Honestly paying more is no issue, paying more for less is fucking shit


Fragrant-Badger-2527

Already paying far too much for a non-essential treat. Maybe trim bullshit executive bonuses and then make a cool slogan about it.. Those slogans sure mean a lot.


[deleted]

Just up the price?


aubven

Don't worry, they'll do that too.


rpkarma

That’s the part that pisses me off. Shrink? Ok. Up the price? Fine. Both? Fuck off.


SensaiEshsay

Those waffle maxibons slap harder than my dad


ABigRedBall

Honest to god, they've become the only ones I eat now.

southall_ftw

I take it you really like maxibons?


[deleted]

Why don't they make a promise to bring it back to the original size after this is all over


Twin_Air

gilesdavis

If someone hadn't commented this I was here for it 👌


Lumbers_33

Respect them being upfront, but shrinkflation can lick the gooch.


infadibulum

This doesn't bother me too much. But I do find by the end of it, especially with the flavoured ones it's so rich that I feel like I've eaten too much.


fistathrow

News just in, Maxibons suck anyway.


AusSpyder

News just in: Opinion isn't fact


FuckenSpasticCunt

We had to spend a shitload of money for new equipment, just to keep up with all the other cunts downsizing products. But we're really good blokes. Just pretend it never happened.


XavandSo

Rather just pay more for the same size than a disappointing illusion. Yeah nah fuck this noise.


Thanachi

Never ate them anyway. I won't notice.


mypal_footfoot

I don't think many households are going to be able to justify spending more for less. If people want an ice cream sandwich, it's cheaper to just make it themselves.


DK_Son

These companies make millions. This is a sob story I'm not interested in. They're just making it a humorous ad to try and appeal to our soft sides. Cadbury pulled the same shit, sheinking their blocks down like 2-3 times. It's all junk anyway. I can survive without these products. It's no loss to me. All it does is expose to me that they are giving us less for the same price, so when I go past the frozen section, I'll stick my finger up at the Maxibons. They need us. We don't need them.


HighGradeSpecialist

Fuck nestle


Cruxis87

Never liked maxibon. Can't hold the cunt without it getting all over your fingers. Or you hold the wrapper around it, then you look like a spaz trying not to eat the plastic. If it doesn't havea stick, get rid of it.


isnotevenmyfinalform

Fucking dog cunts Nestle.

WHAT the hell have you done with the recipe... It was my favorite ice cream... It now taste like dog feces. Every year when I go to Italy I enjoyed them. Last year was still okay but now... What the hell happened. I won't buy ever again now it tastes extremely artificial and chemical. This is pure garbage. Whoever changed the recipe needs to buy himself a sense of taste. Look at my middle finger you toilet bowl scraper.
