Quite right. Wagon Wheels should shrink every year until they no longer exist. Terrible things. |  |

Pah!!! They could only be improved by making a version covered in white chocolate |  |

They've all got smaller. Look how big Snickers were once. They were even larger when they were Marathons. Def info. |  |

I don't get the whole 'fun-size' thing anyway. Surely making something like that much smaller than the standard size isn't anyone's idea of making them more fun? |  |

Worse than that, each segment is now concave. It isn't even a solid ball of chocolate anymore. I would far rather they just put the price up but retain the product as it was. FFS. Brexit Britain. |  |

World Market has them along with a lot of other overpriced imported Brit treats. $25 for a tin of quality street! Luckily a recently opened independent “international food mart” has just opened in my town and they have a great selection of British chocolate (shout out to the underrated Galaxy ripple) and... they have tins of quality street for just $15. Probably gonna check the sell by date first... |  |

I'm still sulking after trekking out to some shop that promised British goods only to discover it was all Irish stuff. |  |
