How much does a wispa bar weigh

Last year, several chocolate favourites were downsized without a similar downgrade in price. A new smaller version of the enduringly popular Dairy Milk bar was introduced, which is missing two chunks g reduced to g and the uniquely shaped Toblerone made a similar move by removing one triangle from its trademark bar g reduced to g. Other brands that have employed the same tactic are Mars In fact this downsizing tactic has been so widespread, that the official consumer body Consumer Focus complained:.

Consumers understand that manufacturing and VAT costs go up, but companies need to be up-front and honest with their customers if costs increase. It is understandable in many ways that chocolate manufacturers are reluctant to increase the price of their own bar, as the vast majority of standard-sized chocolate bars are priced at 59p in the major supermarkets, so any price increase could be potentially detrimental to sales.

The cost of the raw ingredients of chocolate are also rising, which means that manufacturers are looking to hold on to their profit margins in increasingly creative ways.

With this in mind, we decided to undertake our Grand Chocolate Survey which had absolutely nothing to do with having a healthy — hmmmm….

We have got the lowdown on 31 different chocolate bars or sweet packs. These stats can be browsed to compare the merits of different chocolate bars, and to record their current dimensions for posterity in case those cheeky manufacturers attempt another round of stealth — downsizing. How much chocolate you actually get for your money is worth taking a look at, as is whether the actual weight as determined by our digital scales, to the nearest gram measures up to the weight advertised on the packet.

But what was the reality when the bars were weighed? It should be noted that we only weighed one of each of the respective chocolate bars, and that weight will clearly vary a little by individual bar.

So, it transpires that the aptly-named Boost bar packs the most grammage for your hard-earned 59p, both as advertised and in reality. Boost is advertised as a smooth textured chocolate flavoured centre, packed with crunchy biscuit pieces and caramel, and covered in milk chocolate. Many of the chocolate bars sampled were the same weight as advertised, when weighed without their wrapper, but quite a few were either heavier or lighter in reality.

Here are the bars that were weightier or lighter than labelled:. It is clearly good news, however, that so many bars were actually heavier than billed, which is a plus for us chocolate consumers. Asda does seem to buck this trend though, as it does seem to offer generally lower prices for a number of chocolate treats although occasionally prices are slightly higher for some brands but it may not have the breadth of variety available at other stores.

Chocolate is acknowledged as an indulgent treat that is high in calories and fat due to the constituent ingredients. Some people are determined to hang onto their chocolate treat however, even when they are calorie-counting. Obviously, the smaller snack-size or child-targeted bars contain less calories because they are smaller, but which of the standard bars are a wise choice for the diet-conscious calories as advertised?

Here are the top 5 heroes and villains in terms of fat-content per standard-sized bar:. Delivery will not be made to public areas such as driveways, yards, apartment stairways or vehicles.
