The latest 550g tub holds nearly 9% fewer sweets than last year's version. Since 2013, the total count has fallen by 29%. Five individual sweets have been removed entirely from the selection.
Pink fudge pieces have dropped from eight to six per tub. Toffee fingers and strawberry delights now number six instead of seven. Toffee pennies have also been reduced, falling from six to five.
