Fans Of Toblerone Chocolate Bar React Bitterly To Change In Shape And Weight

British customers of candy and snack maker Mondelez International reacted bitterly on social media when the company responded to rising ingredient prices – cocoa, for example – by changing the shape of the Toblerone chocolate bar. It didn’t take long for fans to notice the change: the distinguishing gaps between the peaks had been widened. The alteration meant a reduction in weight from 170 grams to 150 grams, without a corresponding reduction in price. One customer wondered how the maker of a chocolate bar “very well known for its distinctive shape” would try to save money by changing that shape?
