Who do I hold accountable for this travesty?

[Bernanke]

Is Brexit to blame?

Mondelez International has increased the gap between the peaks as a cost-saving measure to reduce the weight of its bars.

The company, which also owns Cadbury, said the move was down to the rise in the cost of ingredients.

Partridge would be outraged.

[wullie]

Looks like a bike rack now.

[Disco]

Why not just put the price up.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Why not just put the price up.

Mathematically impossible.

[Kikó]

Chocolate is pointless anyway. Get rid.

[Lewis]

It will at least be easier to break like that.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

Chocolate is pointless anyway. Get rid.

There's a special place in hell for people like you.

[Mazuuurk]

OK I've always wondered:

Is it "Tobler-On" or "Tobler-On-Eee"?

[Giggles]

OK I've always wondered:

Tobler-own.

[7om]

Lolled at Tobler-On-Eee. What the fuck.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tobler-own.
This is correct.

The picture is a shambles btw, they've removed half of the fucking triangles.

[Giggles]

If the T-O-B-L-E-R-O-N-E are still on the triangles then does this bigger bit in the middle not make more or have they just left some letters off?

Do you try to open it the opposite way or something?

[Lewis]

The bigger bars, which are the only ones worth bothering with, are difficult to break without 1) getting chocolate all over your hands; or 2) breaking off more than you need at that moment.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Pepe]

Tobler-own. :face:

[John Arne]

Tow-bler-rone

[Pepe]

The product's name is a portmanteau combining Tobler's name with the Italian word torrone (a type of nougat).

So tobleron-eh.

[Giggles]

So tobleron-eh.

TV ad says tobler-own so it's tobler-own.

[Pepe]

Embrace the Italian pronunciation, I am sure it suits you well.

[Dark Soldier]

The fuck is this? Shit for cunts? Break it the other way until you can't feel your thumb and a chunk flies off into your eye.

[Pepe]

Why not just bite it?

[Dark Soldier]

I'm not a savage.

[Giggles]

Embrace the Italian pronunciation, I am sure it suits you well.

I couldn't go against the company itself even I were inclined.

[Pepe]

Alright GS.

[igor_balis]

Mondelez are cunts, they're ruining the Cadbury's stuff with horrible cheap ingredients.

[Jeet]

Why people give a shit about this? No-one buys this anyway, just moaning because of change....

[Bernanke]

Mondelez are cunts, they're ruining the Cadbury's stuff with horrible cheap ingredients.

They were responsible for ruining Bassetts wine gums as well. Bastards.

[Lewis]

Seeing as its novelty, and therefore its entire point, is in its weight, will this mean the only way to buy a 'traditional' Toblerone will be to get the 4.5kg one (that I could definitely crush in two days as Floyd and Yevrah cried into their cardigans)?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I doubt I'd even be strong enough to break a bit off one of those.

[Lewis]

I would suplex it into manageable chunks.

[Shindig]

As long as they keep making the white chocolate ones.

[hfswjyr]

I imagine they could keep widening the gap slowly over a few years and people wouldn't notice the difference straight away. But this is just a travesty.

[Shindig]

Regardless, I'm hitting Poundland hard tomorrow for a Toblerone run.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I had a couple of those yesterday, it wasn't the same.

[Giggles]

I'm doing the Christmas alcohol/junk run on Monday. Definitely going to be a white Toblerone on the list.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not a fan of whitey.

[ItalAussie]

I'm more angry about the shameful new Pringles.

[Magic]

What the fuck is that after pic all about? I thought it was one of these stupid Facebook troll joke things that mongols find funny.

[elth]

I'm more angry about the shameful new Pringles.

wait what

[Giggles]

Yeah I was wondering this too. New flavour or have they changed the shape?

[John]

Made them a fair bit smaller.

[Spoonsky]

First and foremost I would blame James Comey, but... oh.

[Shindig]

Someone left five Swiss francs on a bridge the other day well so I might exchange that spend it on four toblerones.

[ItalAussie]

wait what

Smaller size, less flavour.

[Giggles]

And they make all the fake Pringles brands for the supermarkets too, so they'll all change :(

[elth]

Smaller size, less flavour.

Forget Trump and Brexit, *now* we riot.

[Disco]

Even on offer Pringles were never worth it plus they only had one good flavour.

[Baz]

Even on offer Pringles were never worth it plus they only had one good flavour.I know right. This list doesn't even include it! (https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thrillist.com/amphtml/eat/nation/ranking-every-pringles-flavor-reviews-of-all-29-pringles-flavors?client=safari[/url) :nono:

They do but they've put it fucking eighth.

[Disco]

They do but they've put it fucking eighth.

Mahow knows the score.

[Boydy]

Sour Cream and Onion at 26th is a disgrace too.

[Baz]

Mahow knows the score.Have they misspelled Paprika?

[igor_balis]

I've hidden people from my Facebook feed for far less than sharing that Pringles article. Imagine reading "2. Original
Oh, whatever. You knew this was gonna be close to the top. I don't feel like I need to explain anything aside from why it's not number 1." and thinking that the person who wrote it deserved to be allowed to live, let alone get paid for it.

[John]

At least it's all on one page. I have someone on Facebook who constantly moans about not having enough time to do whatever because she has kids and the government need to help her, but shares about three of those '18 people who died and we had no idea' shits from Diply a day.

That was an actual one she shared yesterday and I clicked on it to see just how much of an idea I had, and the first page consisted of Michael Clarke Duncan, Richard Attenbrough, and Harold Ramis. Yeah, mate. No idea.

[Shindig]

"Here is a hot girl in a wheelchair. Please say 'Amen.'"

[Giggles]

I seen one of them the other day that I'd do a better job photoshopping the legs out of.

To be fair they probably only got paid in "visibility" and given nobody reading that article would ever employ such a numpty, they got paid what they deserve.

[wullie]

I liked those chocolate mint Pringles they did for Christmas the other year. Everyone else who tried them thought they were revolting though, so I'm not holding out hope of a 2016 return.

[Giggles]

I normally just buy Stackers from Aldi now, but there's been a few flavours worth still buying the Pringles for. The BBQ one really strangely smelled and tasted of butter though.

[Shindig]

I decided to reserve judgement til I had a Brexit Toblerone. Bought three of the little'ns today because they cost four times less and four of them weigh more (SO FUCK YOU, MONDELEZ!) than the big beasts. It's breaking my heart.

Toblerone is shit anyway. They've been padding it out with sand and all sorts of other inedible shit for years and no one seems to have bothered. I struggle to believe that anybody buys it out of anything other than airport boredom and a malign will to inflict multiple slabs of it on unknowing relatives.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just got a large toblerone (400g) and I thought it hadn't been affected yet as the packaging is exactly the same.

I can easily fit my fat fucking thumbs between triangles to break it off now.

Genuinely seething

[Disco]

Is that what you ordered from Amazon?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Is that what you ordered from Amazon?

Amongst other things.

I thought it was a pre-Brexit one :(

Nuh-uh. It's great. It's like someone said, "Let's make a chocolate bar that's a choke hazard. And make white chocolate editions because white chocolate is the best chocolate."
