Mike Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Why is it, when I crack open my multi-pack of Galaxy Ripples they clearly vary in girth by some margin? Is there no quality control at the Galaxy Ripple factory? Is it so difficult to add an equal amount of chocolate to each bar? Why would they do this? This a cruel trick to play on your average Galaxy Ripple eater. I for one am considering voting with my feet and moving across to Nestle's more constant 'Lion bars' and I don't care who knows it!

hoff Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I feel your pain. It's shocking in this day and age that a lion bar can be a more consistant size:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Probably done by weight of total package rather than individual bars meaning they can get away with less manly bars. Write and complain they might send you some more Include evidence, get your ruler out and take pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 At least most of the Galaxy Ripple bars fill out their wrapper. The majority of Dairy Milk bars seem to have a little bit of chocolate in a big wrapper - they just keep getting smaller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 And to cap it all, Andrex toilet rolls have three less sheets per roll these days. They probably never thought someone would count them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Is it just the 'girth' of yours that concerns you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACIE_LOU Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Oh dear mike bless you! I really think you should complain they always give you vouchers to a dissatisfied customer!! .. Especially if you explain that you are really unhappy with lengh and girth!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Is it just the 'girth' of yours that concerns you? That's why I have to buy a multi-pack - I have to put four togther for it to mean anything to me Is a Galaxy Ripple consider one of the 'gay'er chocolate bars? Would you put it in the same category as, say, a flake? I used to be a Snickers man all day long until I discovered my Galaxy mojo... now, I fear even with girth concerns I'm hooked.

Lbm Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This is important stuff Mike. Well done for bringing it to the clubs attention. I may, and it's only may, now nip out and up the road, procure myself said confectionary and check to see if I concur with you on this chocolatey measuring matter. I did have a will to fill in this afternoon, but f*ck that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mission involved in cutting that really kills it. Cutting into wood looks easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
