The company recently unveiled the new design to reduce the candy bar's weight of what was 400g and 170g bars. The move reduced the candy bar's weight to 360g and 150g.

Wait so, I'm getting less chocolate, but paying the same price?

Yup. Toblerone reps said on their Facebook page: "We chose to change the shape to keep the product affordable for our customers."

For the love of all that is good in this world, please say that other candy companies will not follow suit on this!
