I'm a bit of a diet coke and chocolate addict really (not defending it, but it's there).
I've found that the chocolate bunnies at Big W to be old chocolate.
Let me be clear, they weren't off, but they were "old" chocolate, like the kind that had been sitting around on the bench for a month, and the hardness and taste had changed significantly. You could probably eat it if you were desperate, but for the calories, it's not worth it.
It happened last year on post easter bunny sales, then again this year but a few days ago.
And come to think of it, I don't buy family blocks from there either, even though they're cheaper, because I usually know to expect the same thing.
And same thing happens with coke (diet coke).
I know not to buy 600ml cold bottles from Kmart because they're old - crap taste and off. Like they've been sent to soldiers in in the middle-east and they've been sitting in the Iraqi sun for 3 months. It totally changes the makeup.
This isn't the biggest of deals, but I was wondering if anyone else had any experience, and if anyone has any awareness of the direct decision making of this?
It just seems not ok that people pay money and get subpar products, even from budget orientated stores.
If it's meant to be old just say it's old and put it on sale, not palm it off as legitimate.
**Just to be clear, it was Cadbury. Last year it was the 150g bunnies, this year the 250g bunny, and I don't touch the family blocks anymore for fear of losing $3.50 (due to crapness :/)
Umm… the finer points of Diet Coke I'm not going to comment but I dont expect those cheap "stack 'em high, sell them for $5' chocolate bunnies to be high quality.
They must have a factory here that uses the cheapest shittiest chocolate and moulds them by the ton for easter.
I'm not a huge fan of chocolate but I only eat Lindt or Toblerone. You cant expect Colesworth generic bunnies to be quality in the very slightest.
