There are some in this country who have a legitimate claim to think that yesterday was one of Ireland's greatest ever days. This morning brings a slightly more upsetting mood, as news of one of the features of an Irish Christmas brings some folks back to earth.
Every person in Ireland has had a tin of Cadbury's Roses in their house at some stage in their lives, but now that tin isn't what it used to be.
Since Cadbury's was purchased by American foodgiant Kraft in 2010, the box of roses has been steadily reducing. This morning brings news of another reduction in the weight of a tin of Roses. A full quarter of the tin has been lost since the Kraft takeover, now weighing 729g compared to 975g at it's peak while remaining the same price.
It's truly one of the worst things most Irish people could have woken up to after the national hangover from yesterday's marriage referendum. Perhaps we should have a referendum on it?
