What on Earth have they done?

[Malevolence]

I find it hard to be bothered because I've just found a seventh Babybell in my bag of six.

 

[Hades]

Utterly ridiculous. Looks like I won't be bothering with the new shape.

You must be new here.

Terry's Chocolate Orange now has little hollows in each segment dropping the overall weight from 175 to 157g (or something). ****s.

Not had a Topic in ages, do they still exist!?

I could understand the sadness if toblerone was even a remotely decent bar of chocolate but it's terrible. One step up from Hershey rubbish. Less is better where toblerone is concerned. I'd rather eat Aldi chocolate.

 

[StoutMeister]

Looks like a bloody police stinger now. Idiotic. Change it back !!

 

[Kautya]

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.

^^This. Chocolate prices are going up.

Things that have become smaller as well as Toblerone (and yet no price shrinkage)...

- Créme Eggs
- Diary Milk
- Magnums
- Wagon Wheels
- Mars Bar
- Walkers crisps (from 34.5g to 32.5g)
- some bottles of pop from 2L to 1.75L

Some alcohol as well:

- Bacardi Breezer from 5.4% to 5.0% then 4%
- Smirnoff Ice from 5% to 4%
- WKD from 330ml to 275ml bottles
- Stella from 5.2% to 4.8%
- Carlsberg from 4.0% to 3.8% (not that it matters because it's glorified **** anyway lol)

 

[dannyjo22]

All lager is glorified ****. No real reason to get precious with one over the other. Your alcohol list is very telling

 

[Ocean Breeze]

Isn't the foil going to get crushed up between the massive gaps?..

 

[dlite]

This is a work of marketing genius.

They insult few brits and in exhange every single person outside of UK feels good about themselves, because they still have access to proper Toblerone and they even get to laugh on someones harmless misfortune.

 

[Philtor]

They timed this nicely right in the mouth of Christmas!

 

[Greebo]

Since the dollar has just tanked can we have our old one back now please?

 

[UTmaniac]

Time to book a trip across the Channel with a 7.5T lorry and fill it to the rafters with proper size bars, sell it all back in the UK and retire before Xmas.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

looks brilliant,

very minimalist.
quite modern in its approach.
quite frankly its a piece of art.

designer deserves a pay rise

Give it its own display in Tate Modern! Idiots tasteful art appreciating trendies will pay a fortune to see it.

 

[JCBeastie]

I just don't understand the logic here; they're obviously trying to deceive people by leaving the exterior packaging unchanged. There's no way that it costs less to design and fabricate new molds and adapt the machinery to form the new style bar, than it would to produce a different sized package. I'm pretty sure printing and forming cardboard is a much simpler process.

Bigger picture though this looks better for actually breaking pieces off and easier to eat. We've gotten used to far too much affordable chocolate anyway.

Considering the UK's endemic problem with alcoholism, this is a good thing.

Plus, only students drink that crap anyway.

You will probably find illegal immigrants have eaten the lot when you open the doors back in the UK.
