shops warn it’s being stolen to order
Bull fucking shit. This is not true. It is a myth. The PR companies for the UK supermarkets spread it to make people less sympathetic to shoplifting.
It was more believable when it was being spread around about stolen meat that people would imagine meant thousands of pounds of the stuff was being stolen to resell instead of individual people stealing the meat to cook for themselves at home. It’s completely and totally unbelievable for fucking chocolate bars.
It’s also consent manufacturing for more surveillance capitalism.
what does “stolen to order” mean?
You go to pirate bay and navigate to the food tab
Instacart but cutting out the middleman I guess.
But reading the article it feels like they are taking some creative license with their chocolate black market.
Go on… Just try to work it out on your own
Edit: I woke up in a bad mood, you didn’t deserve this. Sorry
Why are you talking down to them? It’s a weird phrasing.
I think they’re saying that boosters are reselling the chocolate, and they steal new product whenever they get a new order. I think it’s sort of a play-on-words of “made to order” that comes across as clunky and weird.
I woke up in a foul mood and everything was pissing me off.
Like, the plot of the most recent Gone in 60 Seconds - all those cars were stolen to order.
If you want a new hifi, ask the dodgy guy down the pub to steal it for you - that’s stolen to order
I’m not sure who’s boosting boosts but then again we live in strange times.
I’ve bought stolen steaks and prosecco from people coming into the Black Garter in Newcastle, probably those people are fencing chocolate now?
And earlier last year a man was arrested by Cambridgeshire Police with a coat full of Cadbury’s Creme eggs, external.
The br*tish are depraved, totally beyond redemption and must be dealt with.
Getting tackled by the cops and a thousand Cadbury Eggs worth of Creme oozes out of your jacket as you lay on the ground:
What’s the charge? Enjoying a thousand succulent eggs?
Get your hand off my Cremis!
Sainsbury’s said it had begun using “boxes on products which are regularly targeted”, with £2.60 bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk locked up in one London branch.
On the photo it’s still £1.50
How come it’s more profitable to steal chocolate and sell it at a discount than it is to sell your labour?
I don’t believe the story, really, but this kind of low stakes crime should absolutely not pay more than an entry level job if you want your little capitalism game to keep going holy shit
This coincides with Stavros Halkias’s late 2025/early 2026 UK tour.
They’re actually preventing thieves from eating this shitty vomit flavoured chocolate.
This might need an animal product content warning. Or it might all be palm oil and corn syrup at this point. Who knows?
‘no cocoa included in this chocolate’ warning
Chef’s kiss in this article was putting this link right below the section with most crying about the shoplifters.
Becca Amy Stock, a TikTok influencer who goes by the name Becca Eats Everything, set herself the task of reviewing every milk chocolate bar at Britain’s major supermarkets. The 29-year-old spent six hours and £100 on her rigorous research.
im something of a renown and honored treatologist myself. i can eat and partially digest a burrito the size of my own head.
Being an ogre is tragically unaprecciated in society :(
they hit us with sticks and throw garbage at us until it’s time to move the pull out couch, then suddenly we’re part of the village.
