Forget Brexit? This is totally because of Brexit!!!! They said so. This new shape bar is for the UK market only in order to avoid them having to put the cost of the bar up which they don't need to do for the rest of Europe.
Personally i think they have judge it wrong and should have just put the price up.

Well they said its because of the exchange rate and its UK bars only not the rest of the world.
Most sane people blame the exchange rate on Brexit. Clearly by them saying its not Brexit they dont think the exchange has anything to do with it. Why is it UK only then?
Clearly i think the opposite.

3 triangle removed. A triangle has 3 sides. Half life 3 confirmed !
Amidoingitrite?

Correct. And their spokesperson on Radio 4 this morning said it was either do that or not have it on the shelves in the UK.
The presenter even asked if that was a threat!!!!
What the hell was wrong with putting the price up 10%?
Because there are no £1.10 shops
I think I'd prefer a smaller package than something that looks so anaemic. If their goal was to save 10% on the weight, I don't think too many people would have noticed 10% smaller packaging.

I personally find it funny.
How will the weight be the same if they are taking out 1 triangle for every 2 ? The only way they could maintain the weight is by either making the base a lot thicker or extending the length. Considering that they are doing this to save money I'd hazard a guess the weight will go down otherwise what's the point as they won't be saving any material costs whatsoever.
I find it annoying.

I'm off to Calais to get wedding wine, if this brexfectionary crisis continues I could make my fortune importing ever so slightly bigger chocolate bars.
