How does it stack up? Compared to a 60p Twix, the Freddo feels like a deal. It’s a single bite of happiness.
After a Freddo was spotted on sale for £1... what SHOULD they cost? How
But compare it to a supermarket own-brand bar. That might be cheaper per gram. But you lose the magic.
The Freddo has a face. He smiles at you. A generic chocolate bar is just a rectangle. The Freddo is a friend.
What about the Curly Wurly? That’s a different debate. The Freddo is for a quick, pure sugar hit. The Curly Wurly is an engineering project.
The Future of the Frog
Where will the price go next? Some predict a future 50p Freddo. That’s a terrifying thought.
Others say it will become a luxury item. Like caviar, but chocolatey and slightly dented. We might see Freddo futures on the stock market.
Imagine telling a kid in 2026 that you once bought 10 Freddos for a pound. They would look at you like you were a wizard from a golden age. You basically were.
So next time you buy a Freddo, pause. Appreciate it. You’re not just buying chocolate. You are buying a tiny, delicious piece of British economic history.
You are holding a cultural icon in your grubby hands. A squishy, smiling frog that tells the story of our times. And it costs about the same as a bus fare. Which, frankly, is also a scandal.
Go on. Treat yourself. Just don’t think too hard about the cost per gram. Ignorance is bliss. And bliss tastes like a Freddo.
