Freddo creator is ‘rolling in his grave' at new price, says daughter
The creator of the iconic Freddo frog chocolate bar would be 'rolling in his grave' if he could see the current price of the small Cadbury treat today, according to his daughter. A single 35g bar retails for $2 in Australian retailers such as Woolworths and Coles, after suffering a 100 per cent price hike in August last year that Cadbury said was due to the 'record global price of cocoa and increased input costs'. When the bar was first introduced by the MacRobertson's Chocolate Factory in Fitzroy in 1930, it cost just a penny to buy. And Leonie Wadin, whose father Harry Melbourne first crafted the frog-shaped bar, says its affordable price point was an integral part of the chocolate treat's integrity. 'Dad was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it,' the 74-year-old told Sky News. 'He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate. 'Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo.' The popular treat-sized chocolate has become the poster child for 'shrinkflation' in recent years, with many consumers airing frustration as the size of their favourite snack items reduce in size, while the price either remains stagnant or goes up. Chocolate has been hit particularly hard by rising costs and inflation. The price of cocoa has more than doubled in the past year as poor weather conditions in West Africa, the largest cocoa-producing region in the world responsible for 70 per cent of supply, devastated crops. This has forced major manufacturers such as Cadbury owner Mondelez to pass on some of those costs to customers. But those who enjoyed the affordability that a Freddo once gave have been unimpressed by the seemingly massive jump in price, which last year went from $1 to $2, and some have been quick to agree with Ms Wadin's remarks. 'I got these as a child in Australia for 5c now they are $2 each,' one said on TikTok. 'Stop I can't believe he's $2 now! That's a joke!' agreed another. As one stated: 'The price of a Freddo these days is absolutely shocking.' Harry Melbourne was just 14, according to his daughter, when he was challenged by his boss at the MacRobertson's Chocolate Factory to create a new product to celebrate the company's 50th year. Sir Macpherson Robertson, his boss, was considering a mouse, but Mr Melbourne interjected, telling him the treat wouldn't sell 'because women and children are afraid of mice'. Instead, he suggested frogs – because local children 'delighted' at catching tadpoles – which later grow into the green creatures – in nearby ponds. Three days later, and the Penny Chocolate Frogs were born. These were later renamed 'Freddo' after Mr Melbourne's friend Fred, who worked in the packing department. By the time Cadbury bought MacRobertson's in 1967, Freddo was already a household name, and more than 90 million of the chocolate frogs are sold each year. As much as the modern Freddo price would upset her father, Ms Wadin said he 'never knew' its appeal had reached his native UK, adding he would have been 'so proud' of the chocolate bar's success. Mr Melbourne died on January 24, 2007, in Epping, Melbourne, at the age of 94. Ms Wadin, who has five children, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, has kept his memory alive by sharing his story. 'They're very proud of their great-granddad, they still buy them [Freddo bars], they love them,' she told Sky News. 'The Freddo has to be passed on, Freddo is never going to die. 'It will always be there … I just want it all passed down, so that the frog is always in our lives.'

‘Dad invented Freddo. He'd roll over in his grave if he knew what it costs'
The daughter of the inventor of the Freddo chocolate bar said she is 'disgusted' at how much it now costs. Leonie Wadin, 74, claimed that since the death of her father, Harry Melbourne, she had not bought one of the frog-shaped confectionaries. She told Sky News: 'Dad was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it. 'He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now. It was a penny chocolate.' In recent years, the Freddo has become a common yardstick by which the British public track inflation. It was first sold in the UK in 1973, before being taken off the shelves the following year. In 1994, when the chocolate bar went back on sale, it cost 10p. Cost of living crisis The Freddo remained at that price until 2005, when it began increasing by about 2p every year. Today, the confectionery is sold for 30p or 35p, but has been advertised for as much as £1. Last year, a Labour MP launched a petition calling for the price of the chocolate bar to be brought down after speaking to students at a local school in his constituency. Writing on X, Patrick Hurley said: 'Twenty pence for a Freddo is too much, especially in a cost of living crisis.' If the price of a Freddo had increased in line with inflation, it would now sell for about 21p. Ms Wadin's British father invented the Freddo in 1930 while working for an Australian company while just 14. She said: 'He said children are scared of mice, so why not a frog? Because kids go down to the lake and catch tadpoles.' Almost 100 years later, her family still takes pride in their connection to the Freddo bar. Ms Wadin added: 'They're very proud of their great-grandad, they still buy them, they love them. Carry on through every heritage, that's what I want. Never going to die 'The Freddo has to be passed on, Freddo is never going to die. It will always be there… I just want it all passed down, so that the frog is always in our lives.' Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, told Sky News that Freddo had endured popularity across generations since launching in Britain in 1973. They said: 'Whilst it's important to stress that as a manufacturer we do not set the retail prices for products sold in shops, our manufacturing and supply chain costs have increased significantly over the past 50 years, and Freddo has become more expensive to make. 'We have absorbed these increased costs wherever possible. However, on occasion we have made changes to our list prices or multipack sizes to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with the Freddo that they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.' Earlier this month, the Bank of England warned that rising food prices could push inflation to 4 per cent. The Monetary Policy Committee said that poor global coffee and cocoa harvests were partly to blame. The price of food, clothing, air and rail fares all contributed to the rate of inflation reaching 3.6 percent last month – the highest rate since January 2024.

Why daughter of man who created Freddo bar hasn't bought one since he died: ‘Dad would roll over in his grave'
The daughter of the man who created the Freddo chocolate bar has revealed the reason why she hasn't bought one since he died. Leonie Wadin's father Harry Melbourne first crafted the frog-shaped bar around a century ago in Australia, naming it after his friend Fred. When it was first introduced to the market, it cost just a penny. But Ms Wadin, 74, said her dad 'was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it,' adding: "He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate. "Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo," she told Sky News. The bar has become a symbol of 'shrinkflation' in the UK – a phenomenon that sees food products both increase in size whilst subtly becoming smaller. This has been particularly pronounced in chocolate products in recent years, as weather conditions affecting global cocoa production make the cost of producing them more expensive. Relaunched on the UK market in the 1990s costing just 10p, the Freddo remained at this price until 2005, when it was re-priced at 15p. But this year, it was spotted selling in supermarkets for £1, prompting outcry from fans. Some now also hold the sweet treat as an ironic barometer of the rising cost of living in the UK, which economists say continues to sit at unsustainable levels far past the peak of the Covid pandemic and cost of living crisis. Fluctuating interest rates and inflation over the past three decades makes it difficult to verify conclusively just how pronounced the 'shrinkflation' of the Freddo is. According to the Bank of England's official inflation calculator, a product worth 10p in 1990 should only cost 24.8p in 2025. While most Freddo bars in the UK sell for around 36p, that price is still higher than the amount at which it should stand when accounting for inflationary rises. The bar has also got noticibly smaller, remaining around 18g in the UK, but shrinking to 12g in Australia. Mondelez International, owners of Cadbury, told Sky News: 'Whilst it's important to stress that as a manufacturer we do not set the retail prices for products sold in shops, our manufacturing and supply chain costs have increased significantly over the past 50 years, and Freddo has become more expensive to make. 'We have absorbed these increased costs wherever possible, however on occasion we have made changes to our list prices or multipack sizes to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with the Freddo that they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.'

Freddo bar creator would be ‘rolling in his grave' at its price today, daughter says
The creator of the Freddo chocolate bar would be rolling in his grave if he could see the prices being charged for a treat that cost 10p back in its 1990s heyday, his daughter has said. Leonie Wadin said she once waited impatiently for her father, Harry Melbourne, to come home with boxes of Freddos, but has now vowed never to buy another one. 'Dad was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it,' Leonie Wadin, 74, told Sky News from her home in Melbourne. 'He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate. Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo.' Melbourne created the chocolate at the age of 14, Wadin said. In 1930, he changed the mind of a boss who wanted a chocolate mouse. 'He said children are scared of mice, so why not a frog? Because kids go down to the lake and catch tadpoles,' Wadin said. The chocolate, named after his 'best mate', Fred, was launched in Australia about a year later, selling for a penny. By 1973, it had a brief stint on British shelves, before gaining widespread popularity in the UK after relaunching in the 1990s. A Cadbury's Freddo now commonly sells for about 30p or 35p – though there have been examples of the bars selling for up to £1 each. Some have claimed this inflation is emblematic of a country in which even simple pleasures have become unsustainably expensive. However, Sky's analysis suggested that, by some measures, a Freddo has become less expensive than it was in the 1990s. For example, it said it now represents a smaller proportion of an hour's work at minimum wage. Wadin told the broadcaster she wanted her children and grandchildren to remember her father's achievement. 'They're very proud of their great-grandad, they still buy them, they love them. 'Carry on through every heritage, that's what I want. The Freddo has to be passed on, Freddo is never going to die. It will always be there … I just want it all passed down, so that the frog is always in our lives.' Mondelēz International, which owns Cadbury, said: 'Whilst it's important to stress that as a manufacturer we do not set the retail prices for products sold in shops, our manufacturing and supply chain costs have increased significantly over the past 50 years, and Freddo has become more expensive to make. 'We have absorbed these increased costs wherever possible, however on occasion we have made changes to our list prices or multipack sizes to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with the Freddo that they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect.'

Australia branded 'shameful' by Netanyahu, body found on highway after crash, price of Aussie icon blasted as 'disgusting'
Hello and welcome to Yahoo's live news blog this Monday. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised Australia and protests in support of Palestinians, saying he is doing what "any country would do". The daughter of the man who's behind an iconic Australian treat says she will never buy his creation again. Harry Melbourne's daughter Leonie Wadin says she's "disgusted" how much a Freddo Frog now costs and refuses to buy one. Follow along as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. Labor apologises over algal bloom response The federal environment minister has apologised, acknowledging authorities have been too slow to respond to an algal bloom that's killing vast swathes of marine life. Tens of thousands of marine animals have been killed since an algal bloom was identified off the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia in March, and has since spread along the coastline. Environment Minister Murray Watt has apologised to South Australians who believe not enough has been done to tackle the escalating marine crisis. "I accept that South Australians think that governments were too slow to respond to this event, and for that, I apologise," Mr Watt told Nine's Today Show on Monday. But he touted the government's recently announced jointly funded $28 million package. The reason it took months for the funding was because the federal government was working to "understand" the unprecedented event, Mr Watt said. "We are in uncharted waters as to how to deal with it and what support is needed," he said. Read more here.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cadbury Australia (@cadburyaust) Netanyahu says Palestine support is 'shameful' Benjamin Netnayahu has blasted Australian protests against the war in Gaza, calling them 'shameful' and saying they 'buy into' Hamas propaganda. The Israeli Prime Minister overnight held a press conference in English to set the record straight, as he sees it, after Western allies, including Australia, condemned his plan to occupy all of Gaza. An Australian journalist asked Netanyahu if his Western counterparts, who consistently support the Israel's right to defend itself, 'are now struggling to stomach what they're seeing you and your military doing in Gaza'. 'First of all, those who say that Israel has a right to defend itself are also saying, 'but don't exercise that right,' when we do what any country would do, faced with this genocidal terrorist organisation that has performed the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust,' Netanyahu responded. The war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel in 2023. Militants killed more than 1200 in the shock assault, slaughtering entire families. Much of the violence was celebrated by perpetrators and sympathisers online. Israel's furious response has decimated Hamas, but also killed tens of thousands of civilians in the process. Most of the innocents killed are women, children and the elderly. Netanyahu insisted his country is 'actually applying force judiciously', adding that critics in Canberra 'know it'. 'They know what they would do if right next to Melbourne, or right next to Sydney, you had this horrific attack,' he said. 'I think you would do at least what we're doing, probably … not as efficiently and as precisely as we're doing it. 'We've lost quite a few soldiers in that effort.' Netanyahu went on to address the global momentum for recognition of a Palestinian state. France, the UK and Canada have all committed to conditionally recognise Palestine at the UN General Assembly next month. Anthony Albanese is yet to commit to such an act but has previously said recognition is inevitable. Netanyahu said the 'Jewish public is ... against the Palestinian state for the simple reason that they know it won't bring peace', pointing to a recent vote in the country's parliament that overwhelmingly rejected the idea. 'It'll bring war,' Netanyahu said, directly countering rhetoric put forward by the Albanese government. 'To have European countries and Australia march into that … rabbit hole just like that, fall right into it and buy, this canard is disappointing, and I think it's actually shameful. 'But it's not going to … change our position. 'Again, we will not commit national suicide to get to get a good op-ed for two minutes. We won't do that.' - NewsWire Member of public finds body on road after crash A dead body has been found on a major highway near Byron Bay in northern NSW. The grim discovery was made by a member of the public on Sunday night after a crash involving cars and an unoccupied motorcycle. Officers at the scene were told three cars crashed into the motorcycle before a person found the body of the man believed to be the rider nearby, police say. The body is yet to be formally identified. The incident was reported at about 7.15pm on Sunday. Police and paramedics were called to the M1 Pacific Motorway near Billinudgel, following reports several cars had crashed into an unoccupied motorcycle. After a member of the public found the body, two drivers were taken to Byron Central Hospital for mandatory testing. A third driver underwent testing at Tweed Valley Hospital. 'A crime scene has been established and officers attached to Crash Investigation Unit were called to commence an investigation into the incident,' a police spokesperson said. 'All vehicles were seized to be forensically examined.' - NewsWire Do you have a story tip? Email: newsroomau@ You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.
