Un’altra triste vittima della restrizione inflazionistica.

For weeks I’ve been on the hunt for the multipacks of the purple snack bars. Gone. Vanished. Shelves bare. I was starting to think I’d lost the run of myself. Had I imagined them? Some nationwide carry on I wasn’t told about?

Checked a rake of shops. Not a sniff.

Then today… a breakthrough.

There they were. Just sittin on the shelf like they hadn’t ghosted me for weeks.

Same snack. New wrapper.

But then I copped it.

Not a 12 pack.

A 10 pack.

Ten.

I stood there like a gobshite doing the maths, as if I’d just uncovered a scandal. Two bars gone. Just robbed off me. No heads up. The price is still the same though!

Anyway, I still bought them of course.

But I’ll say this much: I remember the 12. And I won’t be forgetting it anytime soon.
