Sure we can understand this more when done by producers with lower prices, but if we see many less known producers still putting higher percentages of cocoa and other expensive ingredients in their chocolate and still keeping their prices lower without going under, neither having to fire people, it's unavoidable that we think Toblerone (or any other well-known producer) is ripping us off.

I really don't think it's that simple. Just because some companies don't go under, doesn't mean others aren't struggling or have to reduce the expensive ingredients. We simply don't know what's going on and assuming that they're ripping us off is just wrong without proper evidence.

But still it's unavoidable, people must arrive to the end of the month with their wages and it's natural that they be more sensitive and overreact when food, houses, health and transports prices are concerned.
