When I saw this I immediately thought, nah, The Verge wouldn’t be using AI to write articles. But then I read it and it’s so weirdly, blandly descriptive, it has to be AI. If a human being is responsible for this paragraph, they don’t deserve to have a job in writing.

When this 110g Mini Eggs bar came out in 2020, it cost £1 in Tesco. Not on an offer, just £1, standard price. In 2025, it’s £1.75 on Clubcard price. The price has gone up 75% in five years (or 100% if you believe the standard price of £2).
