'Bring back the joy of a cheap Freddo'
An MP has launched a petition to slash the price of a Cadbury Freddo. Nineties kids have fond memories of enjoying the little chocolate treat which cost 10p.
And with the cost of living having surged in the past two years, one North West MP is urging Cadbury to drastically cut the price, Lancs Live reports. Patrick Hurley, Labour MP for Southport, wants to see the price of a Freddo go down to 5p.On social media, the politician said it's a 'great idea', insisting 20p is 'too much, especially in a cost of living crisis'. This petition has been uploaded to his website, where he 'calls on' Cadbury to reduce the cost.
The petition reads: "Freddo was originally launched in the UK in 1973 and cost 2p but was withdrawn in 1979. The Freddo we know and love today was re-launched in 1994 at 10p. "The price of Freddo has become synonymous with inflation with many adults reminiscing about the time when Freddo cost 5p. The frog-shaped chocolates were initially 10p when Cadbury relaunched them in the 1990s and remained that price till 2005.
