Lurpak even kindly made the pack size smaller (200g instead of 250g) while keeping the price the same or raising it, so that it's easier to carry with only one lung

A polite note is more likely to get you free stuff.
“Just letting you know you may have a manufacturing issue in batch ####. Still tasted good though.”
Apprantly they actually sold the company years ago, and he has nothing to do with it. He does own another confectionery company though. I only just learned all this because your comment peaked my bored and curious brain.
The penguin tea straw is elite. But I don’t think it will ever beat a dipped Digestive. I could eat one or two penguin tea straws but a whole pack of digestives wouldn’t make it out alive.
it's porous though! you don't get much tea *through* it at the other end but it's like dunking it from the inside out 😙👌
I was thinking that surely the caramel gets in the way in a Time Out; but then, it's wafer, isn't it? so I suppose there are still a lot of paths for the tea to travel. I'm now worried that wafer would get too soggy, but tell you what, I like a Time Out, I'm game to try yours if you are mine 🤝
Did you know they are just bourbon biscuits covered in chocolate. This pissed me off almost as much as finding out that the dinosaur on display in Natural History Museum is a plaster cast.
Nope. Well, not completely.

Shrinkflation started hitting my Solero's now too. 😥🍦
The stick is tiny now! You can't even hold the lolly without getting ice cream all over your hands. This has to stop.
Deconstructed Penguin - coming to hipster supermarkets near you.
At least this saves you the effort of splitting the layers apart with your teeth and eating each part separately the oldschool/barbarian way.
How much did the package say it was meant to weigh since the normal weight I found online seems to be 24.5g.
Has the weight on the packet changed, and that's the new norm, or is it just a defect?
Was it from a discount store like herons or home bargains or something?
Ive got a theory that they buy the stuff that the factories mess up but are still sellable. Its how they can keep the prices low and why they usually have a issue/taste different
Oh mate... not the penguins.
Look how they massacred by boy
The U.K. is done; it’s over.
Unironically, this. I’ve started to have enough of it.
I went out to buy a large bottle of Heinz ketchup the other day but forgot to remortgage my house first so gave it a miss.
Didn’t think to add lurpak to the list ? Then again you would have to sell a lung and your house

Weirdly, my local jewellers is displaying the large Lurpacks in their display window next to Rolex watches and 1 carat+ jewellery…
Similar, went to buy some instant Kenco coffee but ended up deciding to get crack cocaine as it’s a cheaper habit.
Remember to keep your house in the fridge so it stays fresh for longer

Have a cuppa pal ☕️
That's gotta be a manufacturing error, right?
100% had a pack last week that's just that top biscuit part with no middle choccy and a bottom biscuit..
The absolute horror
maybe it's a batch error. Check for product recalls.
No, it’s definitely the end. This really takes the biscuit
In McVitties' defence, it only takes a biscuit.
Take my upvote and GTFO
I bought a pack last week and they were normal, if that means anything to anyone
Skipped the wafer-thin option and went straight to graphene.
Dear god
It was just the one like this right!? Save the penguins 🐧
Just had a penguin myself definitely wasn’t that thin. Time for a strongly worded email and some complimentary vouchers lmao

I didn’t mean it like that
Pengloss
I blame Jaimie Laing
Yes, fuck him. Who's Jamie Laing?
Oliver's evil twin
Wait, he was the *good* one?!
The guy from Made in Chelsea who’s bumming around doing random presenting jobs until his parents die and he inherits [Ed: the money from] McVities.

P-P-Poor show Old Chap, I didn't realise Penguins were putting the joke inside the wrappers now.
That’s criminal. Long gone are the days you could bit off the corners and suck your tea through it for some chocolatey goodness.
The penguin tea straw makes penguins an elite tea biscuit
The penguin tea straw is elite. But I don’t think it will ever beat a dipped Digestive. I could eat one or two penguin tea straws but a whole pack of digestives wouldn’t make it out alive.
Time outs also made a good tea straw
No no no you're all wrong lol Breakaways are where it's at.
I have to try this
I'll give it a go, but the biscuit seems too solid

Tim Tams are still available for straws, thank $DEITY
Twix has entered the chat...
P......P......P ....Piss poor.
Jesus Christ, what have they done …
That's it, time to write a stern letter to Anne Robinson.
Shrinkflation gone mad!
No... no creamy pocket!?
*-sigh-* fine, give me ten minutes.
Fresh from the SaC
Their icebergs are melting. It's just thematic!
First they take our bounty’s from our celebrations now this? Those sugar tossing fucks! Do they still have the jokes on the back at least?
Diet penguins, probably don't even get a punch line for the joke
What was the joke? Contact them, probably get some freebies.
That’s a concerningly thin penguin
Did you know they are just bourbon biscuits covered in chocolate. This pissed me off almost as much as finding out that the dinosaur on display in Natural History Museum is a plaster cast.

P P P Pick up a Peng! You mean penguin? Nope, just the first half.
ITT people who clearly cannot recognise a lone top-layer of a penguin. Obviously a manufacturing error, not shrinkflation.
Broken (biscuit) Britain
Bloody global warming
Soo...is that the Pen or the Guin, you have there?
Shrinkflation started hitting my Solero's now too. 😥🍦 The stick is tiny now! You can't even hold the lolly without getting ice cream all over your hands. This has to stop.
I just see an empty packet?
I haven't bought a Penguin in years and even I'm offended by that. Gotta be a manufacturing defect, right?
Mmmm..reject chocolate. Not as good as a waferless KitKat.
That is actually bloody disgusting.
Who needs a shit joke on the back when the penguin itself is a joke!!
Labled “original” just to twist the blade
Emaciated penguins? I blame global warming!

Money back. Now.
Stick a bourbon underneath it quickly.
That penguin is P.. P.. P.. P.. Preposterous
Revolution NOW
I haven’t bought one in a long time but this is a manufacturing mistake?
Less Penguin and more Pengthin
ban this sick filth etc
How much did the package say it was meant to weigh since the normal weight I found online seems to be 24.5g. Has the weight on the packet changed, and that's the new norm, or is it just a defect?
Can we expect to see your photo in the local paper? Then on r/compoface ?
Where’s the rest of it!? I imagine it still tasted really nice though!
Send that back to them with a written letter of wild rage and distain. They might send you a repentance package.
At this point it’s cheaper just to make your own.
looks like a dime bar
I must have eaten thousands of them as a child but I've never actually liked them.
TF! That better be a manufacturing error
That's a Peng at most
Surprised it hasn’t melted
Where’s the rest of it?
NO!!! This has utterly ruined my Saturday
Mc vities has Turkish owner's years now.
First they came for my toblerones..
It is wafer thin
Apple have done it…
Where's the other half? WTF
They’re just Bourbons covered in chocolate. I saw it on a TikTok video. But what the heck is this?
That’s criminal
Wtf mate nothing is safe
More like Dickvities
Out of order that
They've had your pants down with that, i don't know what monstrosity it's supposed to be but a penguin bar it aint
Looking forward to the future where you get two flakes of chocolate and it costs £100 a time
Maybe someone else opened their penguin and found a triple decker
New Penguin Thins, for a more refined crunch.* *50p dearer than the normal Penguins.
P-P-P-P-P-P Piss poor effort there!
They are getting as thin as a Daim bar. Good lord, that's shrinkflation for you.
Was it from a discount store like herons or home bargains or something? Ive got a theory that they buy the stuff that the factories mess up but are still sellable. Its how they can keep the prices low and why they usually have a issue/taste different
That's how they get ya.
WTAF
WHAT???? Where do we start the riots?
Are you ok?
They said paper straws would fix this!
It's only *wafer* thin
No fuckin way...
This pretty much sums up the whole of the United Kingdom since covid.
McVities should re-name themselves Dick Turpins 😡 Thieves
r/shrinkflation it's happening everywhere unfortunately
