Spot the difference

Post by YPF »

I recently opened a new batch of handy wrap and put them on the shelf next to my last roll and then noticed a slight difference between old and new:

I have seen something similar with Mars bars and Curly Wurlys!

Perhaps the contents settled in transit? :giggle: Bin bags are getting thinner too.


I can remember when you couldn't eat a whole 6d Mars Bar without being sick. :P

I'd stick to Mars Bars and Curly Wurlys, much tastier, but higher in calories, I assume!

Did you buy it from the same place?

It is available in different thicknesses, but should be the same length. I buy mine from ebay (boxes of around 40 at a time)
Its cheaper but also thinner but does the job just fine for me.

Cheers

It's probably because it's been wound tighter on the core. This would make it appear to have less on it.
