Whams - Paddy

Iyt bro, or not bro if you arent comfortable with that level of familiarity. That's understandable to be honest, it's not like I know you at all really, your just a chap, or chapette, who likes to read about the ramblings of two 17 year olds.
Right, on to business and today's business is Whams. Not the hit boyband from the 1980's, but rather the chewy raspberry flavoured sweet. Now, in my youth a wham was 10p and a mega-wham was 20p. That seemed fair enough, twice the price for twice the sweet. Imagine my consternation, when I walked into a corner shop to discover whams were now 20p and mega-whams were 25p! That to me seems foolish, you now get double the whammy-ness for only 25% extra price. I'm no financial guru but to me that makes poor business sense. If I was in charge of the wham company I'd make the 20p and 40p to be more sensible. Actually, out of respect to the consumer I'd have kept it at it's traditional price rather than sneakily jacking it up, I'm looking at you freddo!
