Vir Sanghvi took to Twitter and wrote, “Is it just my imagination (or greed) but didn’t Bourbon biscuits used to be longer?” To everyone’s surprise, Britannia replied soon, tweeting, “No change in size, Vir. We know expectations are big, though”.
Sanghvi then went on to ask, “No change since when?” to which Britannia replied, “Not in the last 6 years at least, Vir. And we hope you have been having us more often than that.”
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra too joined the banter and tweeted, “I agree Vir! But what has upset me so much are that my childhood favourite Orange Cream is no longer availablr- the repackaged Treat is not even close 🙁 please @BritanniaIndLtd bring them back”.
To which Sanghvi replied, “They have changed too many of their recipes. Even Bourbon tastes different after the 2015 revamp”.

Here’s how the internet reacted.
Later Sanghvi tweeted, “According to biscuit nerds @BritanniaIndLtd changed the size of the Bourbon biscuit in 2014. That’s how they can assure us that it hasn’t got smaller over the last six years. It got smaller seven years ago.”
