Doesn't taste the same either :(

I know someone who worked for Kraft until they bought Cadbury's, moved the offices to Middlesex, made said employee redundant and pretty much ruined their life.
Bloody Kraft.

Most importantly, its gone from 49g to 45g. Ok so its a calorie saving but I want my extra 4g of chocolate! [stamps feet]

CloudsAndTrees · 07/01/2013 20:16

YANBU. It's crap.

OddBoots · 07/01/2013 20:17

I've not bought it in a while, what shape is it now?

Wommer · 07/01/2013 20:17

What shape is it now?!Confused

usualsuspect · 07/01/2013 20:18

They changed the shape so they could use less chocolate, sneaky fuckers.

Sokmonsta · 07/01/2013 20:19

It's not the same. Thankfully the chocolate in Heroes hasn't been messed with yet. It's still cubes.

It's round. Each of the squares is now rounded. I would have been happier if they'd removed a square.

The lady in morrisons was laughing at me having a rant at the chocolate shelf.

New bars

I don't eat chocolate very much, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but when I do, a bar of dairy milk is such a treat. It's one of those heinz (or is it hellmans Blush ?) advert type things - it has to be rectangular, and it has to have corners that hurt the roof of your mouth until you've sucked them smooth. Saw the revised bar in work's vending machine the other day and nearly cried.

ResolutelyCheeky · 07/01/2013 20:22

They have messed with the taste of caramels in heroes though, they taste plasticy

5dcsinneedofacleaner · 07/01/2013 20:23

Thats just wrong! dairy milks are not ROUNDDD.

bureni · 07/01/2013 20:26

buy the Caburys from Lidls, it is still the same since its made in Ireland.

kaiserfootmuff · 07/01/2013 20:27

that looks crap, my older ds will moan, it's the only chocolate he eats

OddBoots · 07/01/2013 20:27

Ugg, yuck! I hope the bigger bars are the right shape.

Purple2012 · 07/01/2013 20:35

Well that's just great, i have a cake mold that is the shape of a large bar of cadburys and now it's all wrong!

QuickLookBusy · 07/01/2013 20:39

How very dare they!

Why fiddle with it? It was perfectly fine before.

Fakebook · 07/01/2013 20:39

Ugh. They look like little constipated turds now. It's supposed to be a BAR of chocolate. Idiots.

pictish · 07/01/2013 20:41

That's outrageous!!!
If it's not broken, don't fix it!! FFS!

Rectangles rule, oblongs drool.

Lets complain en masse! Bitterly!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 07/01/2013 20:41

I'm so glad I'm not the only irrational one person who is upset about this.

That is just cultural vandalism.

Wikipedia says it has been the same shape since 1905.
