PIC: This picture perfectly illustrates the depressing evolution of Christmas sweet tins

Eye-opening

Carl Kinsella

This is simply not on.

Much like Christmas gets earlier and earlier every year, Christmas sweet tins get smaller and smaller. It is a simple inevitability of life.

However, we were simply stunned by the size of this Quality Street tin from 2005 when compared to the paltry size of this year’s container (it’s not even made of tin).

QUALITY STREET

That is the kind of sight that would make pre-reformation Ebenezer Scrooge’s eyes light up with joy. That is the kind of thing The Grinch thinks of when he’s in bed with his wife. That is down. right. sad.
