Polo's the mint with the hole.... 60p!!!!!

[K87]

I remember the good old days when these were about 20p a pack!! 60p is a fudging disgrace!! It's not like i'm a winging old fool back in my day etcc.....

Ridiculous!

[mybrainhurts]

Huh, I remember when they were 2.5p a roll....

[K87]

Alright grandad!

[mybrainhurts]

Watch it...

I have shoes...

And I can throw them...

[dudleybloke]

7 packs for a quid in my local bargain food type place.

[XJSJohn]

60p / pack FFS !!!!!

[mcflurry]

That's ridiculous. No choccie bar or pack of mints should cost more than 50p

The price of almost every choccie bar now is over 50p in most emporiums.

That's nothing. When I left Britain my aunty was a 28a now she's a 38dd!

I remember when a Yorkie was 16p. Shame wages haven't inflated as fast as... everything else

[The Hypno-Toad]

I wouldn't complain too much. Everyone knows Polos make you sterile.

[timbob]

I may be only 25, but I remember them going up from 16p to 20p at the local shop when I was about 10. It had massive implications as far as how I spent my £1 pocket money!

60p!!! 300% inflation?!

a pack of wrigleys is nearing 50p now, which is ridiculous. i paid 65p for a mars bar this morning, which is a 433% increase from 16 years ago [they were 15p when i started high school].

[DrTre]

The reason is that there's a worldwide shortage of holes which has pushed the unit price up.

Combine this recent increases in fuel/transport costs and the logistics costs of moving the holes from source to factory has rocketed.

You'll notice Trebor Extra Strong Mints haven't increased in cost by anywhere near as much.

Bought a can of coke this morning. 81p FFS !! When did that happen? Rola Cola from now on!!

Why are you buying a Mars bar first thing in the morning?

i have been getting up at 5am to catch that horrible invention called the bus. buying the paper leads to temptation, yesterday it was beef monster munch!

[carinatauk]

Filled up at a garage last week [not motorway] and felt a tad peckish. Looked at the prices and didn't bother. 94p for a packet of crisps ffs, inflation? nah, one hell of a rip-off

[Rouleur]

Polos have always made a mint
