The Price Freddos Will Rise To By 2030 Is So Depressing

The Price Freddos Will Rise To By 2030 Is So Depressing

I predict a riot.

Over the years this country has been subject to some horrific events.

Many shook not only the UK, but the entire world.

First came Jamie Oliver's unwillingness to continue the hopes and dreams of 2001's youth culture by stopping the selling of the now infamous Turkey Twizzlers. That, however, was nothing on the abhorrent, bloodcurdling rise in the price of Freddos.

As if it wasn't bad enough that we have to live in a Taz Bar-less world, the price of Freddos went from 10p to 25p, as the size of them simultaneously dropped.

You can appreciate my severe disappointment then when I received an email from Voucher Cloud telling me what the price of a Freddo will be in 2030.

I wept at the realisation that they'll be 38p by the end of the next decade.

The cost of a Freddo has worryingly increased by almost double the rate of inflation since 2000, and has also decreased in weight. It went from 20g to 15g in 2013, and then 15g to 12g just last year.

We'll find that, in four years, we'll be shelling out 29p for Freddos, before the prices rises to 33p by 2025, and eventually 38p by 2030.

As if this isn't bad enough, other nostalgic possessions such as the Beano and Mars Bars will also go up in price.

Mars Bars will go up in price to 87p by 2030, while its weight also plummets. It has already lost 14g since 2002.

Back in 2000, a Beano comic would set you back 52p. But if you wanted to revisit the pages of youth, you'd have to pay £2.20 these days. Which, to be fair, sounds like a steal compared to the £4.16 it'll cost in 2030. Four pounds, six-fucking-teen pence? Someone is taking the right royal piss.

I'd ask for a moment of silence, but I'd guess that wouldn't be possible because of crying post-teens and rioting.
