I was planning on doing the same in NZ. I would be keen to chat to you about it (email in HN profile). I am a data scientist
Did you notice anything pre and post Whittakers price increase(s)? They must have a brilliant PR firm in retainer for every major news outlet to more or less push the line that increased prices are a good thing for the consumer. I noticed more aggressive "sales" more recently, but unsure if I am just paying more attention.
My prediction is that they will decrease the size of the bars soon.
I think Whittaker's changed their recipe some time in the last year. Whittaker's was what Cadbury used to be (good) but now I think they have both followed the same course. Markedly lower quality. This is the 200g blocks fwiw not sure about the wee 50g peanut slab.
