New Toblerone Shape Has Infuriated The British Public

New Toblerone Shape Has Infuriated The British Public

People are not happy.

You can mess with our five pound notes. You can change the price of Freddos. You can even swap the Prime Minister without a fresh General Election - whatever. But don't you DARE piss about with our Toblerones.

What fresh hell is this?!

It looks like a bike rack. Or cheap Halloween vampire teeth. Whatever it is, it ain't the Toblerone we know and love.

The reason behind it all is because the makers of the chocolate, Mondelez International, had to come up with a solution after the cost of the ingredients rose so high. Rather than charging customers more, they came up with this solution. So, the 400g is now 360g and the 170g is now 150g. I know what you're thinking, why not just make the bars shorter rather than making it look like a skinny version of its former self? Well, all I can think is that they'd have to change all the packaging too and I imagine that'd cost a fortune.

Toblerone released a statement on their Facebook page which read: 'Toblerone remains one of the best value and most delicious Swiss chocolate products in the market. This is because we always work hard to ensure we offer value for money for our consumers, but like many other companies, we are experiencing higher costs for numerous ingredients.

'We carry these costs for as long as possible, but to ensure Toblerone remains on-shelf, is affordable and retains the triangular shape, we have had to reduce the weight of just two of our bars in the UK, from the wider range of available Toblerone products.'

The thing is, everyone's pretty pissed off. Their Facebook page has be faced with an influx of furious messages as people give up on looking good for summer and begin to stuff their faces in the lead up to Christmas. It's winter, you're allowed to eat a whole Toblerone yourself.






Christmas is cancelled. Everyone go eat an apple.
