The group said that the tin looks almost empty and they would not pay £5 for that amount of sweets. Many users replied to the post adding their concerns. A user wrote, "I'm disappointed at the contents. Thank you for sharing this picture, I will just buy all separately for cheaper." Another user wrote, "Just buy the bigger bags in Tesco at the moment for £1 get five of them and still will have more then the contents in the tin." Another person was not satisfied with its content and wrote, "So it's a free tin. Think the chocolate adds up to about a fiver. Kids will enjoy them though."
