Chocolate crisis brings 'vintage' labels to everyday biscuits

Shoppers are noting that rising cocoa costs have changed the packaging and pricing of simple grocery treats like Penguin biscuits, with some joking that plain supermarket snacks now carry 'vintage' framing usually reserved for wine. The comments reflect frustration over the global chocolate crisis, which has pushed cocoa prices sharply higher and made everyday chocolate products noticeably more expensive and differently marketed.
Why now: Cocoa price spikes have made everyday chocolate products like Penguins more expensive, prompting complaints and jokes about 'vintage' grocery goods.
