Yep: Toblerone changed the shape of their chocolate bar, minimising the chocolate-content by making the gaps between the triangles bigger.

And just like that, the floodgates opened.

People weren't happy. Comments poured in on Toblerone's Facebook page, Twitter went wild, and a Reddit thread in r/unitedkingdom addressing the altered shape received almost 700 comments.

Someone even brought Brexit into the mix.

Toblerone issued a statement a few weeks back on their Facebook page to explain the changes -- basically, they said it came down to a change in shape or a change in price, and they went for the shape option.
