I recently opened a new batch of handy wrap and put them on the shelf next to my last roll and then noticed a slight difference between old and new:
I have seen something similar with Mars bars and Curly Wurlys!

Perhaps the contents settled in transit?
Bin bags are getting thinner too.
I can remember when you couldn't eat a whole 6d Mars Bar without being sick.

I'd stick to Mars Bars and Curly Wurlys, much tastier, but higher in calories, I assume!

Re: Spot the difference
Did you buy it from the same place?
It is available in different thicknesses, but should be the same length. I buy mine from ebay (boxes of around 40 at a time)
Its cheaper but also thinner but does the job just fine for me.
Cheers

Re: Spot the difference
It's probably because it's been wound tighter on the core. This would make it appear to have less on it.
