Consumer View: Many fans feel that Wagon Wheels have been subjected to shrinkflation, pointing out that current UK versions have dropped in weight. Some discussions on Reddit's r/CasualUK and Facebook point to weight changes down to 36g for the modern versions.
Manufacturer View:Â Biscuit producers (such as Burton's in the UK) have publicly disputed the shrinkage claims. They suggest the perceived difference in size is due to nostalgia and childhood perception, arguing that Wagon Wheels appeared larger simply because our hands were smaller when we were kids.
