I just saw an advert on TV for Aero chocolate bar, new special offer, 33% more bubbles.

Wait  a minit,bubbles are made of air, so the offer is...less chocolate for the same price...

People WILL fall for this, wont they.............
Nothing is ever as it seems. With appropriate equations I can prove this.

Don't they sell chocolate by weight.

It's swings and roundabouts I guess - I had a 4 finger kit kat yesterday that was entirely chocolate.  Not a bit of a finger, or even one whole finger, but the whole kit kat.  Not a sniff of wafer in the entire thing!   :P

They do & the advert is saying that there are currently promotional bars in shops which weigh 33% more than normal so you get a third more chocolate for your money. However a lot of people still won't buy it because of Nestle's failure to act on child slavery in its cocoa supply chain.

I do not support child slavery in any shape or form - but and it is a HUGE BUT - if the children and others did not work for these companies - they would simply STARVE. 

There are no options to these poor people no nanny state - no handouts - no free housing - no health service.

I would still rather buy the products even though it means children have to work -- it does keep them alive.

I use child slavery down the lottie - no work, no food. That seems to be a fair trade to me.
