The bastards ruined Toblerones!

[Doubting Thomas]

I just bought a couple of packages of sugar the other day. Yep, they're now in 4 lb. bags instead of the 5. Before you know it we'll be buying food in bite sized morsels while paying more per package than what we pay now.

I've known all along the government is cooking the books on reporting actual inflation rates.

I've bought Toblerone every year for Christmas ever since I knew it existed.  I may give it a miss this year.  Anyone know if this affects the bars sold in Canada?

Apparently it's just the bars in the UK.

Everyone else will be fine by the sounds of things,

Brexit innit?

Yesh. I knew it was evil.

Ah, what an amusing fail. Everyone is doing it, though. Manufacturers don't want the size of the package to change so it "looks" like you're getting the same amount. In short, they're essentially trying to lie to you about what you're getting and just hoping you won't notice. Not the brightest move, though, when your customer gets it home and the difference is this damned hard to miss. Hell, I'm pretty sure that stupid shape is the only reason people even buy it. I had it recently. It was okay. I certainly didn't think, "Oh my god, I have GOT to get this again!" It turns out triangles just don't taste that much better than squares, rectangles or...snicker...whatever you'd call the new shape. Squarish triangles, maybe?

Me too!  I always buy my hubby one for his stocking.  
Well, this year I stashed away a Violet Crumble I found at an import candy store on the coast, so I guess he'll only be getting that and a chocolate orange this year.  

Totally crappy that Toblerone made their chocolate bars less than HALF the size!!  Very cheap move!

You found a Violent Crumble? Here?? In the US??

I MUST know where so I can get some. I LOVE those!!

I got it in Newport, Oregon, at a teeny tiny little shop called "The Republic of Candy"
They had a lot of imported candies, including Salty Licorice, Aussie Licorice, Mochi and Botan rice Candies and so much more!  They also have hand dipped chocolates and truffles they make themselves, as well as local Tillimook Ice Cream (which if you've never had, is just the BEST!).  I spent almost $50 on candy there.  That was basically my entire budget blown, and no regrets!



But you don't live near here, you could just order some from Amazon?
Violet Crumbles

Totally worth it.

Costco has a coupon for $2.70 off in their flyer this month.

Of course, Costco is owned by Jews who are using the Blacks to subvert the Latinos . .

LOL!

Made it to Costco after Dr apt and bought a box of Toblerone.

Well, the pictures don't do them justice, them things are huge!

Mighty tasty too, ate one on the way home.


So, I've had my first Toblerone today.

and had another about 45 minutes ago.

Um . . .


I'm buzzed.



Really. It's like that stuff they mix with the Novocain at dentist (yes, Novocain is a mix of chemicals).

I think I'll mention this next Dr visit. I'm definitely reacting to it.

I did with the first one, but this is a confirms it.
