Woman reveals how many modern Quality Street tins equal 1980s version

A TikTok user has highlighted the significant reduction in Quality Street tin sizes over the years. In a viral video, she compares a large 1980s tin to today's smaller versions, showing it would take four modern tubs to equal the old one’s volume. The retro tin, which cost £7 in the 80s, contained up to 2.5kg of chocolates, while today's 600g tub sells for around £6. This change illustrates the trend of "shrinkflation," where product sizes decrease without a price drop. Currently, Tesco offers a 600g box for £3.95, while the equivalent weight of the retro tin would cost about £16.46 today. The video has sparked interest in the larger tins, with some viewers expressing a desire to find and fill them with chocolates.
