Bahlsen Reviews 42

I forget which way round it was, but there was a time when either Ohne Gleichen or Choco Leibnitz were in closable cartons, and either Choco Leibnitz or Ohne Gleichen were not. Now neither is closable, thus ensuring that both types go soft. On top of that we have the stupid pulls, which never, ever work, but break off halfway.

Excellent quality biscuits, such a lovely treat, and utterly delicious!

Love Bahlsen pick up biscuits...always have a packet in. Had an unfortunate experience of one being soft and stale when I opened the packet ...1 of 5 only. Received a lovely parcel of 2 replacement packets today. A couple of days after contacting Bahlsen. I am SUPER impressed. Thank you very much for the wonderful customer service. Ann and family

I’ve loved this biscuit ever since I was a small child and I decided to spend a whole £2.55 on them as a treat only to find that there was 8 biscuits instead of 9….. did anyone write it on the front of the packet ? No.

I’m really disappointed

Absolutely impossible to get a hold of. I have tried everything, going through parent/sister companies, social media and their own website about the fact that EVERY BISCUIT in the pack was open. Its been 2 hours of trying with nothing to show for it. Do better please.

"New improved paper packaging" it proudly proclaimed on the front.

Not until I got back to my desk did the awful truth hit me. The box is the same size, but they are stacked in a funny way ......... and ....... one is missing!!!

Sure enough in smallprint on the back of the box it confirmed 8 biscuits. Some marketing genius conned me - well, you only get to make a fool out of me once ....... Not bought again. I even turn round the packs on the shelves so hopefully other people now see the blatant deceit. Currently priced at £2.25 for 8 in Tesco. Never again.

Oh dear, I see their rating has fallen again. The product is generally good, I love the Chocolate covered biscuits, but they are expensive, compared to several other really good alternatives. But today, “Took The Biscuit”. I bought a box to treat myself, only to discover they have redesigned the packaging, reducing 9 biscuits to now 8. That seems immoral given that they are twice the price of most others, so for me, that’s it, Never again will I be tempted, their Greed means I shall never again add to their wealth. Shame, but a lot of companies take this approach and after a few years go out of business.

Great product but why deceive with the same packet but less product. I feel cheated and will be looking elsewhere in future.

Nice biscuits but due to the removal of one biscuit I will be buying the ‘ generic ‘ ones as just as nice . So 👎 you will lose sales now

9 biscuits down to 8! What a joke! Why us British public keep putting up with the multimillion pound companies taking the p”ss out of us I don’t know!

I will 100% not buy another packet. Bring back 9, @ £1.25 reasonable price.

Hundreds of millions in the bank, billions in assets - and now they feel the need to rip us all off by reducing the number of biscuits in a pack from 9 to 8. WAKE UP EVERYBODY - we must boycott these elitist con men!

Well done Bahlsen for removing the plastic inner tray to help the environment and no doubt save costs. However, they appear to have mislaid a biscuit reducing the overall weight to 111g while maintaining the price at between £1.35 - £2.00.

Bahlsen - the shrinkflation and inflation double whammy

I just purchased my last pack of Bahlsen's Choco-Leibniz at Waitrose.

Bahlsen have cleverly redesigned the new packaging to look like the original 125gm 9-biscuit pack so one is not aware the first time one purchases the new pack that it will only contain 8 (not 9) biscuits - the pack now weighs 111gm.

In addition to the "shrinkflation" there is a significant price hike at Waitrose from £1.25 (for the 125gm 9-biscuit pack) to £2.00 for the 111gm 8-biscuit pack.

The Bahlsen company are a no good bunch of greedy pigs and all their products should be avoided by customers so that their bottom line is seriously affected as a result of their greed.

Few might deny Bahlsen's Choco-Leibniz are delicious.

Except their biscuits have become rather unpalatable through shrinkflation and 'virtuous' packaging - the latter leading to broken biscuits.

The 125g pack of 9 is now a 111g pack of 8 with no mention of the reduction of the number of biscuits on the box.

In trying to fill the same-sized box, gone is the tray securely containing 3x3 biscuits in favour of trying to space-out the 8 biscuits. Except of those 111g packages purchased all contained broken biscuits.....

Sorry, Bahlsen - your biscuits are no longer for me.

Last time there were 12 in a packet. Today 8. Same price!
That's the last time I shall buy them.
