The excuse I heard the other day was "it's because they are more expensive to produce". Well just put the fucking price up a bit then, I'd rather that and get a normal Toblerone than something that looks like a fucking Aldi version of it.

As expected, complete and utter bollocks, but what do you expect? In relative terms a chocy bar isn't important, certainly not enough to gather sufficient info to discover what Tobler junkies actually want and are willing to pay for. I'm rather fond of Lindt's 'creation' range, especially the 'refreshing lemon' and 'creme brulee' bars, but should they alter the composition of either I'm off to find another brand that doesn't fuck with my allegiance.

Mate, these days I expect very little. Yes I have a rant about things, but it is a pressure valve rather than a belief that anything will happen!

To be fair, Lindt so some very nice stuff. Having said that, I thought I knew what Chocolate was until I went to Bruges. Expensive but just on another level to anything else taste wise.

Yes, they do have a very different set of food values compared to the UK. I try to get to London as often as I can, mostly for work, but given the size and mix of the place there are several of what the poncey supplements would refer to as artisanal chocolatiers, or something equally relevant to the price tag. Must admit, they are a million miles removed from Galaxy or similar concoctions. I'd love to visit 'proper' chocolate shops that do their own chocs in either France or Belgium, just to remind myself that before I die I've tasted heaven.

A half time potato and potato pie when we are ahead against the Unclean.

That really is ambrosia, food of the gods.

Agree, it's all relative, and the combination of scoff and United collecting 3 more points is enough to make almost any intake of food taste special.

Hope you get to do that, it's very worth it. The beer is nice in Belgium too, still can't quite get my head around having Mayonnaise on your Chips though!

Chicken Balti Pie is my pie of choice, but fair comment

I wondered how bad it could be until I saw that picture, that just looks wrong.

You can now put a Wagon Wheel in one of the gaps, what is the world coming to?

Don't get me started on Wagon Wheels

Too late...................fucking fraudulent bastards is what they are.

And when did Mars bars become Milky Ways???

Altered the size of everything and blamed it on the "obesity epidemic". Surely if someone wants to shovel mars bars down there cakehole they'll just buy more? You can get a pack of 4 of the fuckers from Morrisons for a quid.

If they didn't deep fry the bastards at the chippy , maybe they couldn't complain ,
Besides deep fried Orieos ( yeah the biscuit ) can be purchased in my local chippies I mean what the fuck is that about .

About five years ago I was given the wrong food at a restaurant on Chiswick High Road. I wasn't prepared to wait for another as my mates had got theirs and whatever I'd got was alright, just not what I'd asked for, so I told them this and ate it anyway. As an apology they offered me free desert. I don't usually have one but I'm a Yorkshireman and it was free so I asked what they recommend.

It was, indeed, deep fried Oreos. The waitress had said 'you should try the Oreos'. Now I don't eat biscuits so I didn't actually know what Oreos meant but I just said 'OK'. To be honest, they were quite nice.

No wonder you'd only stand in the centre circle after eating them deep fried fucking things . 0

It's an outrage! How can they do this?.....It just doesn't look right any more!

Sad times for chocolate!......What comes next? Twix will only be manufactured in Single finger??

Hidden food inflation is rife anyone noticed how kitchen towels are slowly morphing into toilet roles,in the case of Toblerone they did not disguise it very well,if it had be me i would have just shortened the length.

This is more shocking than brexit or Trump being president. How dare they? I thought it was bad enough that today's mars bars are the same size as the fun size ones used to be when I was a lad but this? It's a bloody disgrace!!

 

[Blade56]

Shows how passionate we all are about the tinpot when at the first deviation from the opening thread we start creating a mega thread to rival the infamous 'Morsey' thread to discuss the injustice of Toblerone.

Classic

Classic, blade56?

According to Radio 4, the makers of Toblerone are blaming Brexit for this hideous outrage...

...and whilst we are on the subject, W H Smith at a certain well known service station on the M1 near Mansfield tried to lift me for £1.99 for a "special edition" Milky Way! Dick Turpin is still riding the highways of Britain. Stand and Deliver!
