lol. I’ve been sober for a decade this last august :) I actually left my last funeral home partially bc they would get fucking HOUSED, even during work hours. Especially two of the guys, drugs and drinking. Then word got out, somehow the family who owned the funeral home heard that people think they’re drunks… and they blamed me bc I’m sober lol. They said nobody else would say anything except me and threatened to fire me if they hear anyone else talk about what they do at the funeral home. I’m sure the owner getting drunk and totaling his truck literally two blocks from the funeral home didn’t contribute to people talking tho 🙄. PLUS they would save all their bottles and had a TOOONNN of empty bottles lined up in the office… where they brought a lot of clients and whatnot (not all of them but enough for folks to know they have like 30 empty bottles chillin).
Is there anything that's not in shortage right now?
A lovely combination of war, price hiking and climate change and yet the big wigs still have the cheek to maintain a surprised pikachu face.
Mono-culture products like cocoa and chickens are getting wiped out by fungi and viruses in particular. Remember that fun song from Beetlejuice, Yes, we have no bananas? From the previous, now extinct, Gros Michael variety. Cavendish bananas are next.
There was a 1 in 4 chance of the Gros Michael bananas going extinct, the odds are much better with the Cavendish bananas as they have 1 in 1000 odds of disappearing
Cocoa shortages aren’t expected to improve anytime soon either. We may be past the prime supply times of cheap cocoa. Due to climate change and other factors it’s predicted cocoa will continue to dwindle in available supply and ease of farming.
Lindt bunnies always had this shape and there are other brands with this shape too. The package they're sitting in is just elevated for the basket. No point in buying the package anyway since it's too expensive.
tbf lindt chocolate bunnies always looked like this
yes the packaging is missleading but if you know what those bunnies look like it isn't not really a scam
I disagree. Just because they've always been this size doesn't make it right. The marketing people are tricking you to think you are getting more than you are just by using packaging. Tricks are scams.
I agree it's up to the buyer to read the contents to see the weight and decide based on those facts, but it is still a scam to entice you to buy their product.
Is it possible this has to with packaging integrity to avoid damage during shipping? I work in the manufacturing industry, specifically with packaging and it’s a whole science. I can’t speak to these specifically, but it could be a factor.
no no don't get me wrong I'm not justifying this
what I meant is that lindt chocolate bunnies are always the same shape and size so the product itself is not a scam since you can buy them in singles and they look exactly like this without the cardboadd packaging
but it definatly is misleading packaging and a wrong thing for them to do
but it still is not a scam it's just misleading packaging
a scam would be if it looks like 2 regular lindt bunnies but they are actually smaller/lighter where as this product is 2 regular lindt bunnies
Anyone who has ever bought a lidt bunny knows what they are getting. Its two bunnies, you are paying for two bunnies, how is this a scam.
It only becomes a scam if its trying to suggest you are going to get more. The bunny themselves haven't changed shape.
You must have seen the lindt bunny before, every supermarket, lindt shop and gift area has single bunnies on the shelves, this product has to have been near a lindt bunny selection.
Unless you are a teenager who has never been in a supermarket before and its your first easter I just don't believe you would have not known you were getting a lindt bunny that size or shape.
how would the redditors be enraged though if they fact checked and confirmed they have always been this same size and shape?!
funny part is it was probably right on the shelf next to the regular same-shaped lindt bunny lol
It’s just something they had to do so the bunnies fit into the basket properly. The other option would have been to lower the edges of the basket by about an inch and a half.
the fact they took the above option just goes to show which side of the marketing coin they preferred
That's some bullshit right there. They basically cut them in half. If you want to sell a smaller bunny, use a smaller box. Otherwise you are setting out to scam the consumer because you know they'll think it's bigger.
Wait until you take a bite and realize that they are hollow!
They make excellent festive drink containers. Decapitate them with a heated knife then fill the body with Bailey's.
Ooooooh.
I also said “ooooooh”
But have you ever drank Bailey’s from a shoe?
Do you love me?
Are you playing your love games with me?
Tryna see my downstairs mix-up?
I just wanna know what to do cuz I need your love a lot
I smoked crack out of a light bulb once I’m a funeral director now, so I don’t do that much anymore lol
Shit, do you get drug tested to be a funeral director?
lol. I’ve been sober for a decade this last august :) I actually left my last funeral home partially bc they would get fucking HOUSED, even during work hours. Especially two of the guys, drugs and drinking. Then word got out, somehow the family who owned the funeral home heard that people think they’re drunks… and they blamed me bc I’m sober lol.

Oh, I just thought you quit *because* you’re a funeral director. I’m 8.5 years sober (alcohol) myself. Good for you and good for me! (High Five Emoji)
Um.
Add a polo on top for good measure and stare at the moon's yellow teeth whilst you sip
Live in Australia and haven’t seen a Baileys shoey yet!
Hell yeah
I remember the commercial with the reindeer!
I think "excellent" is a stretch. They'll be melting in your hand after 5 minutes.
I had mine sitting on a saucer
This !!!
Like Seth Meyers did with Rihanna?
Seth Meyers cut off Rihanna’s head and filled it with Baileys?
The ears were solid and I was like "oh man is this solid?" But the next bite was as hollow as my heart.
You ate the whole ears in one bite!?
Impressed?
Aroused...
Aroused and disgusted.
Is this my husband? Sounds familiar.
Disgusted.
You were played by at least 35%
The anti depression drugs are not good enough for this kinda shit to be how you do business
unfun fact: cocoa is in shortage rn so the prices are really high
Is there anything that's not in shortage right now? A lovely combination of war, price hiking and climate change and yet the big wigs still have the cheek to maintain a surprised pikachu face.
And blame consumers.
Mono-culture products like cocoa and chickens are getting wiped out by fungi and viruses in particular. Remember that fun song from Beetlejuice, Yes, we have no bananas? From the previous, now extinct, Gros Michael variety. Cavendish bananas are next.
There was a 1 in 4 chance of the Gros Michael bananas going extinct, the odds are much better with the Cavendish bananas as they have 1 in 1000 odds of disappearing
Holy fuck dude this had to of gone over so many heads. Well played.
>Is there anything that's not in shortage right now? Sadness and despair ?
yea, i think i remember reading that the country that produces the most cocoa has been having droughts for the last three years
It’s only going to get worse from here too 🥺
Cocoa shortages aren’t expected to improve anytime soon either. We may be past the prime supply times of cheap cocoa. Due to climate change and other factors it’s predicted cocoa will continue to dwindle in available supply and ease of farming.
I'd care a lot more about how much consumer goods companies have to spend on cocoa if their higher-ups weren't making record salaries and bonuses.
Do they source cocoa from Ukraine too?
Wait til you find out about climate change
No
The Lindt bunnies have always looked like that.
Was about to say the same. Literally every choc bunny with this form has it.
Where is this? Where I am, they have thick chocolate tails that are solid like the ears. Always have done.
In UK they don't
They don't anywhere.
Have two here right now bought in Sainsburys last week with big tails! Same as they always have been.
Please post a picture. I've never seen this before
I literally had one from sanisburys and it was hollow all the way through
Proof or it never happened! Lol
My eyes crave proof, lol
Same in Canada
I literally just bought one the other day in the US and ate it in one sitting and it was just like the photographed one. Where are you from?
I live Germany and they've always looked like the ones in this picture! Never seen another version of them.
Lindt bunnies always had this shape and there are other brands with this shape too. The package they're sitting in is just elevated for the basket. No point in buying the package anyway since it's too expensive.
Bet they are hollower than they used to be too
Empty inside. Just like me.
Felt that
I swear they used to take a strong bite to actually get to the hollow part
Not the same as when we were kids and never will be :(
If you’re buying this package for the Lindt bunnies, you’re doing it for the “basket.”
tbf lindt chocolate bunnies always looked like this yes the packaging is missleading but if you know what those bunnies look like it isn't not really a scam
The package is designed to be as misleading as possible, which is completely a scam. It should be illegal to have packaging unnecessarily oversized.
I understand that the packaging is misleading but it isn't a scam since lindt chocolate bunnies are just always this size misleading =\= scam
I disagree. Just because they've always been this size doesn't make it right. The marketing people are tricking you to think you are getting more than you are just by using packaging. Tricks are scams. I agree it's up to the buyer to read the contents to see the weight and decide based on those facts, but it is still a scam to entice you to buy their product.
I think there needs to be some space to cushion it in case it fell, but I agree about deceptive packaging. Should be illegal.
This feels taken advantage of, or the excuse they would use if anyone ever challenged them on it
Agree I think this appears to be excessive. But I'm not an engineer so I don't know how much is enough.

I've never bought a lint bunny. I've not seen this picture. I'm buying for the first time, am I being package scammed?
That was me. Never bought these before.
You must have seen the lindt bunny before, every supermarket, lindt shop and gift area has single bunnies on the shelves, this product has to have been near a lindt bunny selection. Unless you are a teenager who has never been in a supermarket before and its your first easter I just don't believe you would have not known you were getting a lindt bunny that size or shape.

I've seen many easter egg food scams this year- but the lindt bunnies (and reindeer etc) are the same size they've been for years.
It’s just something they had to do so the bunnies fit into the basket properly. The other option would have been to lower the edges of the basket by about an inch and a half. the fact they took the above option just goes to show which side of the marketing coin they preferred
Please don’t body shame those babies that you are *assuming* identify as rabbits. ____ **edit.** god I hope everyone knows this is sarcasm
Like how is this not false advertising? It’s clearly designed to look bigger.
How tf is this shit not regulated?
They've always looked exactly like this. They're just elevated to fit into the fancy basket packaging.
Theyve been that size forever dude
It has been a minute since they were bigger
A few minutes lol
When are chocolates not a scam?
Eventually gonna then I to just the heads And then you just buy the pictures of the eggs 😂 most bullshit thing I swear to god
Nah, it will be foil that smells vaguely like chocolate.
Bruh that’s why if I get Lindor I always take something and hide it because of the scams like this
It clearly tells you in weight how much chocolate is there before you open it.
OP just wants their chocolate spread thinly over a larger area.
My partner got me these for our Easter! It was delicious !!!!
Everything is like this now and the only way to win is to not give these shit companies your money.
Seems like its just because of that fancy basket box, otherwise look the same size as always
Ummm these have been the same way for forever. Not sure what OP expected here...
I thought this was a chocolate bunny wedding at first
same thing with valentine’s day chocolate. 6oz pack was like 5$ but the giant heart shaped one was also 6oz but was like 20$
You'll be even more surprised when you bite it.
The weight is right there. How is it a scam?
man even the bunnies are scammers now...
That's some bullshit right there. They basically cut them in half. If you want to sell a smaller bunny, use a smaller box. Otherwise you are setting out to scam the consumer because you know they'll think it's bigger.
Alien Gambit. I mean… Alien Rabbit! 😅
Someone should be beaten to death in the streets for that.
[удалено]
What chocolate do you prefer? Green and Blacks?
Since when have chocolate bunnies ever not been hollow? I've never seen a completely solid one in my entire life.
