Milka makes Easter bunny more expensive: "Mummy pack of the month"
The “ Schmunzelhase Alpenmilch ” has fallen victim to the now well-known principle of the mock pack: the content is reduced, but the price remains the same. That annoys many customers. In the case of the chocolate rabbit, this means that the rabbit has lost weight. Instead of 100 grams as before, it now only weighs 90 grams. At Lidl, for example, the price remains at 1.99 euros.
The somewhat smaller version of the Milka Easter Bunny has become even smaller. 45 grams instead of the previous 50 grams. Here, too, the price remained the same. At net, it is about 0.99 euros - despite weight loss .

Other types, such as "nut", are also affected by the fake pack. “ Schmunzelhase-Nuss ” weighs only 95 instead of 100 grams and still costs the same.
Consumer advocates from Hamburg asked the food manufacturer Mondelez . It is a Europe-wide standardization, says the manufacturer of the popular Milka rabbits. "This year we have expanded our Easter range and revised the design of our classics." It goes on to say: "In the 2020 season, the Milka Schmunzelhase is 45 grams, 90 grams and 95 grams (nut and crunchy) as well as 175 grams commercially available. "
This is how the situation regarding the Corona crisis currently looks in supermarkets * - trade association has been warned.
