I know many of you were just as devastated when the Toblerone was gelded and turned into something that looked more at home on the road at a police checkpoint than in the kitchen of the gods.
Fear not my friends, the balance is restored! The prism of chocolatey goodness has been returned to its former glory and those responsible have, I assume, been executed. The sun shines a little brighter on this great day.

I use to work with this pilot who would gives these out to the crew after the trip :)

The Toblerone was only changed to that in the UK. It stayed the same old way in the rest of the world
AgitatedGazebo
It never get changed here in my country, but I'm glad for the peoplw where it had.
HoloBu88les101
Sorry, too busy cramming the chocolate goodness into my gaping maw to notice ... great news tho * om noms intensify
Braytac
@Op no price hike to go with it or?
Medionsinger
Yeah, there's a price hike for it.
0x1CEB00DA
this was due to Brexit, the GBP lost so much worth that they either had the choice to raise prices or use less chocolate ...
KrisPhoenix
why the - sorry for the language - fuck did it take so long?
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
... Executed?
Saladman69
Why did they change it originally? To save chocolate?
AdrianDunne
Cocoa had gone up in price, a lot of manufacturers reduced quantity rather than change price.
Saladman69
I see, thanks!
EnByOwl
Those responsible have been sacked

Even better news would be if Cadbury’s returned to its home in Bournville, and more importantly resumed original recipe!!

Agreed. Tastes like dhit

Sadly though, the report also said that the price would more than likely rocket. Just saying.

But it's going to cost more. THE BASTARDS

I don't think they didn't expect people to notice; the weird part is that they thought it would be less hated than increasing the price.
Trimule
Don't think so- standard sales thought for years-candy bars the size I had (50's) would probably cost $3 for same margin-shrink size and 1/
Trimule
retain sales that would scared off by "huge" price increase - same thought as "same bag - same price- less content) -

Never had one- any good? What's in 'em?
bluemeaniesarecoming
Toblerone has never been my thing but people seem to love it. They've got the Duty Free market on lock if my time in airports means anything
itsybitsyspider
They're so expensive but they're so fucking good
timmargh
They're pretty lovely in my opinion.

Is this true? I don't even particularly like toblerone and have always thought the pieces were too big but I was still pissed about this.

THE MARKET HAS SPOKEN

I bet the price will rise, with some poor excuse

That and Kinder if I’m duty free!

If Kinder was an illegal substance I would have been executed by now. It's super addictive.

Technically it was the consumers who spake.

@adrianDunne it's bad chocolate, i live in Swiss you should try other :)
AdrianDunne
I'll more than happily munch through any chocolate as long as I can justify the cost.
candystud
Well, when you try good chocolate you're like man it's like win cheap win is fun, but good win is so much more

Guylian is my favorite chocolate but its Belgian. What's a fantastic Swiss brand to try?

We have villars, cailler, lindt, frey and i study at 10 min of the viééars factory

Thank you
whatupcorgibutt
It’s funny because where I live the toblerone never changed to the first one. Ha ha ha
HelloToe
DangerousNoodle
Same here.
Msdee83
Here too.. and when you live in Norway you sometimes go to Sweden to shop cheap candy and soda. Still cheap and the same. I dont get this..
whatupcorgibutt
I wanna go to Sweden for candy :(
spetcnaz
US never had the change. I think it was mostly UK.
Tornadotaco
What's the weight of the bar? They didn't change the 360g or 100g bars, they just got rid of the 200g bar and stuck a 150g in the package.
whatupcorgibutt
They were the exact same. I get one every time I go grocery shopping and I never noticed any perceivable difference
Tornadotaco
Ok I'll try again. Toblerone makes three common sizes. They only changed one. Do you just normally buy one of the sizes they didn't change?
whatupcorgibutt
I don’t know I assumed there was only one size because that’s what Kroger’s carries. It’s like the standard size I guess

It's not on fire that's just his majestic mane. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Toblerone.

I see what you did there
AnAverageJho
If you are wondering why there's a bear, it is because Toblerone was created in Bern. The bear is the symbol of the city and the Canton.
AnAverageJho
Being swiss, I never really thought about people not seeing the bear in the mountain since I always knew it was there.
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Thanks Average Jho! Are there still bears in Switzerland? Dumb question I know, but I'm from a small island.
gtsr
I'm not Swiss but I think there are some, since some of them still live in the valleys and mountains in the north of Italy.
AnAverageJho
AFAIK, the only bears that show up in switzerland are the ones that get lost from italy. They usually end up getting killed though.
AnAverageJho
So technically, Switzerland doesn't have wild bears anymore. Bern does have a very famous "bear pit" you can visit to like a zoo.
