In today’s video, a Ramble and Rant of sorts, I set out on a mission to track down a Freddo chocolate bar—the iconic, frog-shaped snack that defined so many moments of my childhood. It’s more than just a bite-sized treat; it’s a symbol of simpler times, playground economics, and the kind of nostalgia that sneaks up on you in the confectionery aisle.

But this wasn’t just a sentimental journey. I wanted to find out what a Freddo costs today, and how its price has evolved alongside inflation. Has it kept pace with the economy, or has it become a casualty of modern pricing madness?

Along the way, I also explored a handful of everyday items—those small, routine purchases we often overlook—to see what’s still affordable and what now feels out of reach.

This video is part investigation, part reflection, and part cultural audit.
