The bastards ruined Toblerones!
November 8, 2016 at 2:49 am
I mean, just look at this monstrosity!




http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37904703

Quote:Some fans of Toblerone's distinctive triangular chocolate chunks are feeling down in the mouth after the look of two bars sold in the UK was changed.

Mondelez International, the company behind the product, has increased the gap between the peaks to reduce the weight of what were 400g and 170g bars.

Some consumers have described the move as "the wrong decision" and said the bigger spaces looked "stupid".

Mondelez said the move was down to the rise in the cost of ingredients.

In a statement on the Toblerone Facebook page, the company said it had to make a decision between changing the look of the bars or raising their price.

The move has resulted in the weight of the 400g bars being reduced to 360g and the 170g bars to 150g, while the size of the packaging has remained the same.

It said: "We chose to change the shape to keep the product affordable for our customers."

Market research shows that consumers really respond to the 'medieval torture device' look.

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,

Clearly, this is a confectionary outrage, as we all know that the taste of chocolate is dependent on the shape of the chocolate.
