I hate being ripped off and this is exactly that. A rip off! It looks ridiculous :rolleyes:.

It would have made more sense and been more honest to just put the (already steep) price up.
Used to love that stuff, but always felt the prongs were too close for comfortable biting or snapping. Widening will help although i think they have taken it too far. You could launch a boat in those spaces:)
Pissed me right off. They are all at it though. Chocolate bars keep getting more expensive and yet they only ever shrink. This time the end product looks like crap though. They are meant to look like mountains, not saw teeth!

Yeah. It's such a blatant try on. It looks ridiculous. Pathetic really.
I usually buy some for the grand daughters at Christmas. Not now!

Toblerone is one awkward looking chocolate! The taste is fine though. Used to eat it more often in the early 2000's.

FFS... just another greedy arsed company... like nobody would notice that!
What's next... Terry's Chocolate 1/2 an orange? Saying that, you can already just buy the segments.

I stopped eating chocolate some time ago ;)
Hang on...
Chocolate that hurts? :D
Used to get the "big" white Tolblerone every Chrimbo in a past life, so have a soft spot for it but wouldn't buy it nowadays.
Apparently the biggest Toblerones aren't affected. Looks like I will still enjoy them then, because I always "go large" when it comes to choccy treats!

Too late. Terry's (or in reality whatever faceless-soulless-run by accountants- global-multinational-wankfest owns them now) have already downsized the chocolate orange, and the bar.
I only buy choc when its on a good offer. tbh I do this for most things I dont actually need.

LIDL chocolate is rather nice. Good value too.
The white chocolate with strawberry chips is lovely (if a bit rich). Yumptious!! :D

That's brexit for you. Chocolate isn't grown in the west Midlands and because the pound is nearly worthless the ingredients cost more
