People are NOT happy about the new Toblerone design
It's the end of the world as we know it
November 8, 2016. A day like no other. A day where the people of America voted for the leader of the free world. A day historians of the future will look back on with attentive eyes and see ... "Britain ruddy annoyed by the new Toblerone”.
Haven't you heard? Toblerone has changed: it’s now lighter. There’s more of a nook between each chocolate triangle which, although it gives each consumer much-needed leverage when breaking off a piece, sacrifices a significant slice of choc.
And this blow to Britain, with the risk of sounding a tad over the top, is the single worst thing to happen to any group of people anywhere. And we include all those affected by the cancellation of Quality Street's Toffee Deluxe Bites (RIP).

??What have they done with #Toblerone?! ? From a life in hotels, the stand-out comfort for staying in a decent place has been compromised.

The feeling when you work out you should push the chocolate not pull it. Gone. Another casualty of 2016. #Toblerone pic.twitter.com/1uV4FAbM7d

Makers Mondelez International, formerly known as Kraft, said the decision was down to the rise in the cost of ingredients and the change was not due to Brexit. Twitter was not convinced.

Politics aside, our thoughts go out to Alan Partridge at what must be a particularly difficult time.
