To save you all a click. It doesn't directly say just:

But Ms Wadin, 74, said her dad “was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it,” adding: "He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate.

"Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo," she told Sky News.

Yet the interesting thing. Capitalistic competition dose not provide for other companies selling cheaper chocolate bars.

Sorta like all the competitive advantages of capitalism are nothing but long believed myths.

At least without some very strong regulations to prevent companies maker missing profit seeking.

My eyes drifter right past the words “daughter of” in the headline, and I was very confused why “dead man doesn’t eat chocolate” was newsworthy.
