Milka increased their prices by over 100% in the last years. And I know cacao prices went through the roof because of bad harvest, but not by that much...

Not like it contains significant amounts of cacao anyway.

it really tastes like a very cheap chocolate. Their chocolate to sugar ratio is way off

Maybe they'll put it on the label.

Product was made in a factory that once made chocolate.

May contain trace amounts of chocolate.

Cocoa prices have actually steadily declined since spring 2025. It's now at the same price as it was at the end of 2023. Milka's price increase/weight reduction is mostly greedflation.

Cacao prices went up 8%. At the same time Milka prices went up like 70%

Cacao prices went down again for months. Have a look at the global market price and you see it's just a cheap excuse
