Als großer Fan von Kimberly Mikado ist es wirklich ärgerlich zu sehen, dass sie ein weiteres Opfer der Schrumpfflation sind. Früher gab es 20 Kekse, jetzt sind es 16 und immer noch der gleiche Preis, manchmal sogar mehr, je nachdem, wo man einkauft. Die Geschäfte betrügen uns bereits, wenn es um Schokolade geht, und verlangen für einen Cadburys-Riegel 2,30 bis 2,50 Euro, weil es nichts zu ändern gibt. Jetzt betrügen sie uns mit Keksen, die nicht mehr als 1,50 € kosten sollten. Warum gibt es in Irland keine strengeren Regulierungen für Geschäfte, so dass man mit Mord davonkommt, aber es ist Irland, also ist es nicht verwunderlich. Ich weiß, dass dies in der Lebenshaltungskostenkrise keine hohe Priorität hat, aber wir können jetzt nicht einmal einen Keks genießen, ohne das Gefühl zu haben, dass wir am Arsch sind.

Capitalism is the reason the government can’t dictate the price of goods and services. Also the reason companies do their best to maximise profits over everything else.
You mean Jacob’s Mikado
95% of shops only raise prices when the cost price increases in my experience. You’ll always have the dickhead 5%. I worked for them too. As for shrinkflation, the product comes in the way it comes in. In most cases it’s the fellas in cadburys/Jacobs lining their pockets as opposed to any boss I ever had.
>Kimberly Mikado.
Prepare to have your mind blown my friend. Since a child you have believed that is the name of these biscuits right?
Well your biscuit life is a lie. The ad was “Kimberly **,** Mikado and Coconut creams.” With a comma!
It’s three separate biscuits. The photo you have posted is just Mikados and always has been!
These are Kimberley:

> Why aren’t shops regulated more tightly in Ireland
You want the government to regulate biscuit prices?
Which countries regulate the price of biscuits? Even the Russians got over that wheeze.
i was in dunnes last week and seen they were selling a single row of mikados for €1.50 now which got you 8 whole biscuits and I couldn’t even find any of the bigger packs or an empty space where they would be.
The only shocking thing to me is that you thought these were actually called Kimberly Mixados?
The bin.
Or the shop to buy a decent packet of biscuits.
Just don’t touch my purple snacks.
> biscuits that shouldn’t be more than €1.50
You’ve ran the numbers yourself I guess? What are the profit margins for Jacob’s at that price? What’s the shop’s margin?
Nor an Irish made product and the quality of the range has gone downhill sice they were made in Dublin. I used to enjoy Jacobs biscuits and the fact they were Irish was a bonus. But like everything theses days they are a shadow of the originals.
We called these something else entirely growing up lol
Capitalism will eat itself eventually. Well will all loose.
Called fanny delights in our house
Yeah, I noticed they raised the price to 3.50 at first, sales must have dropped because they are back at 2.50 but with four biscuits less. Haven’t bought them since
Have you seen the price of chocolate kimberleys aswell… Some shops are charging nearly €5… It’s a six pack!
me and coconut
What’s this now?
End state capitalism. Annual profits must be grown each year so therefore they must sell you less product for the same € or preferably from their pov less product for a higher € price 😢
Yeah, outraged, its definitely noticeable there’s some missing from the Kimberleys…

My mate always called them ‚fanny biscuits‘.
Jammy Fannies!!!!!!
The world!! Muhahahahahahahaha
As a blow-in, this thread has been quite the education for me!
My father (95) insists they are called mick-a-doos always has. Probably to annoy me. I’m easily annoyed 🤣
Thetre a prrotest organized this Saturday at 1pm . All Mikado addicts are meeting at the Spire. Would live you to come!
Spread the word.
Don’t put up with it, don’t bother complaining to them about it, they won’t listen. Just stop buying them.
Coconut creams. That’s what’s next. Someone you love, would love some mum.
Looooved these when I was a kid but absolutely detested the Kimberlys!! I might have to pick up some Mikados now, such a nostalgia trip.
