Cadbury have come under fire in the UK and have been accused of ripping off their customers, after a variety box of treats had just eight biscuits inside.

The box itself measures 21cm by 21cm and has a depth of under 3.5cm, however, according to the website, the box is supposedly a 107g Cadbury Biscuit Assortment Box.

Back in 2010, Cadbury was sold to US behemoth Kraft Foods for around £11.5bn, and is now operating under the Mondelez umbrella.

Since then, Cadbury has frequently been accused of betraying the principles of their Quaker founders, and notably drew a lot of criticism after binning off their commitment to using Fairtrade chocolate.

As well as this, customers regularly complain about the changes to taste.
