Theyre both exactly the same product.

[Tall Paul]

They're different sizes.

[Rowls]

They're different sizes.

Yes. There's about 3 mugs worth of cocoa less in the more expensive one. I'm not quite sure the "bulk" quantity justifies the price difference between them.

Don’t think much of this game

You love asked us to spot the difference, which Tall Paul and I have both done yet you find fault with our answers

Not so much a "fault" willks_bfc.

You've both played a spiffing hand.

One is described as being ideal for hot drinks and rich bakes.

The other other one is described as being ideal for rich bakes and hot drinks.

You have to walk an extra three aisles to get to the cheaper one.

[Rowls]

They even had the same 'best before' date on them.

I hate this habit of adding a “strapline”:
“Deeply Chocolatey”. Of course it’s f*****g chocolatey, it’s cocoa for f**ks sake.

[Bosscat]

Bit like bags of peanuts with the immortal words "may contain nuts"

Lidl had to recall bags of nuts because they didn't say "may contain nuts" in English... and Yoghurt products didn't have "may contain milk" in English ...

Clever marketing. The new one, which looks more stylish is cheaper by 20p but actually £1/kilo more expensive.

And you encounter it three aisles before the other one.

The one which is more expensive/kg is in the home cooking aisle next to the flour eggs etc and the cheaper one is in the tea/coffee aisle.

And often, particularly on these wholefood or organic products you get this stuff written on the side, eg. a jar of peanut butter’s got written on it, “We’re nuts about nuts!” and “Oil separation is natural. Just stir me up!”
Very annoying.

Agreed. The infantilism of the animism and personification in these exclamations is what really peeves me.

It's so annoying I have to read the Daily Mail just to calm down a little bit.

I suppose at least if you read the little labels you can see the price/kilo, but it is a bit cynical.
On the subject of Tescos, I’ve noticed recently they’ve got these special club card prices on certain products, which I think is pretty manipulative, and discriminates against us folks who don’t want to join their f******g club.

I was rallying to your cause until I read that.

It was all a bit tongue-in-cheek. The DM isn't known for it's calming affects.
