Nestle Is Removing 40 Percent Of Its Sugar From Chocolate And I Want To Cry

Proving that nothing is sacred in 2016, Nestle has announced that it will be cutting 40 percent of sugar out of its chocolate.

First we have Toblerones shrinking and then they messed around with Terry's Chocolate Orange and now this. It's all too much.

The Swiss company is claiming that this won't affect the taste, but, I just don't believe that. Let us have our obscenely sweet chocolate in peace, guys. It's not to meant to be a health food.

Researchers for the chocolate-maker have said that they have found a way to 'structure sugar differently', meaning that the taste won't be changed, according to the BBC.

Scientist say the new makeup of the sugar means that it dissolves more quickly on your tongue and fools your taste buds.

It's been called 'truly groundbreaking' by Stefan Catsicas, Nestle's chief technology officer. As well as 'good science' by Professor Julian Cooper, chair of the Scientific Committee at the Institute of Food Science and Technology.

Now, I can't tell you whether this is true or not. These fellas who are saying it won't taste different are scientists and I'm just an idiot who likes chocolate. However, having said that, I will definitely be stock-piling KitKats and Aeros before the switch in 2018.

And I think I speak for all of us when I say, 'please stop fucking with our chocolate'.
