The classic Big Mac Index, courtesy of the Economist, was the saviour here. We gathered the historical data from BigMacIndex.org. 2000

Some of the staples of our childhood are being ruined before our eyes - and ruined well ahead of the rate of inflation. Although this price is still a long way above the price according to inflation since 2000, it's a start.So next time you hear someone say those words 'How much does a Freddo cost?' maybe offer them a kind word before you answer. The product was invented in 1930 by Harry Melbourne, an 18-year-old MacRobertson's employee. [1] In 1967, MacRobertson's was sold to Cadbury, which incorporated Freddo Frogs into its own product range. [2] The chocolate was originally sold only in Australia, but has been introduced into several other markets. Though some of us were more into football, music or those weird girly magazines, let's not pretend any of us were Dandy readers - we were Beano readers, and one of the last generations to truly appreciate the age of the comic. If the price of a Mars Bar had remained consistent with inflation, we'd be sitting at a fairly bitesize 44p. If you needed another stark reminder about the ever rising rate of inflation, and cost of living, seeing a Freddo listed as 26p will be it. True, it is lower than the dizzy heights of 30p which it reached in 2017, but for reference, the last time Freddos were 10p was in 2006 (oh, the good old days).

Freddo Frogs became part of the Cadbury product range in 1967, when MacRobertson's was sold to Cadbury. In Australia, Freddo Frogs are manufactured in Ringwood, Victoria and Claremont, Tasmania. Since the success of Freddo, an alternative chocolate named Caramello Koala (formerly Caramello Bear), also made by Cadbury, has been created. Caramello Koala is the only flavour in which the chocolate is not shaped like "Freddo".Obviously, for most of us, our quality of life stems from how many Freddos we can afford in a typical day, so I looked at how many Freddos you can buy in 2000 based on average earnings, compared with how many we can buy today based on average earnings.

Where possible, we've gone with the RRP - yes, we've seen the pictures of shops selling 65p Freddos and we're just as appalled as you are. New data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 21 January showed that over 200 products, including chocolate brands Maltesers, M&Ms and Minstrels, all shrank in size between September 2015 and June 2017. On the whole though, it's been remarkably close to the appropriate figure - 1p difference this year, in fact - and is a great example of how big business doesn't have to rip us off for our fast-food staples and nostalgic endeavours. British people are known around the world for that one timeless question; a question that defines us; the question that determines the state of our once great nation:
