Oh no! I have never had a Toblerone, but I have seen them.
You sound like me a few years back when experiencing my first Butterfinger after it was changed. It wasn't so much the chocolate had change, although there was less of it, but they changed something on the inside of it making it go all wrong. In case it was a fluke, a good while later I bought one more, but sadly.... the same messed up bar.
Bars of candy are not my first choice when there is a large choice of sweets, but still, over the years I've tried quite a few. I never, NEVER understand when a company changes their product after being HIGHLY successful for many years or another company buys it and changes it. Do they think the people won't notice??? .... that is what goes through my mind, because I do notice and I will cross something off as a possibility for the rest of my life with no problem as there are too many other products to choose from.
Sorry the US messed up you Toblerone. I Have to agree, our chocolate is nearly always inferior to the real thing.
Sadly this is greed playing out and how they boost their profits. This is hard to explain why they would tinker with a brand that is selling. Cadbury's used to be 27% cocoa and is now down at 20% for no other reason as cocoa is the expensive ingredient. Rather make the slabs smaller than changing the formula.
The thing is, I always wonder, won't they see a difference in the sales? Sure it won't show immediately since people will buy because they don't know of the change, but once they find it to be compromised, will they keep buying it? I always hope nobody keeps buying whatever they ruin.
Yes I hope they also stop purchasing the product as why would anyone settle when they are not happy with the new product? If you still have a chocolate two weeks after purchase then you know something is wrong.
LOL! VERY wrong!
