to think chocolate bars with uneven squares a the work of the devil?

[redcandlelight]

I am a confessed chocoholic.
I like having one 'row' of plain chocolate after dinner.
my usual supermarked own brand has changed from neat rows into a weird uneven crissy crossy pattern.
aibu to say that that should be illegal?

Subtle way to encourage people to eat more, so they sell more.

Have you tried Tony’s Chocolonely?
(See pic attached)

It should. Absolutely.

Can I add ever changing the formulae of products. Make a new thing if you want a new thing. It's never 'improved'. Ever.

They make such a mess when you break off a square, too (I’m looking at you Tony’s Chocolonely)

I was one given one as a gift. I was how are they still in business?

I was gonna mention Tony's Chocolonely. Delicious chocolate, frustrating design. I always end up eating way more than intended...

I thought this was going to be about Tony's 😁

oh yes. I have sentitive skin. just seeing the sticker 'new and improved' on my tried snd tested lotions and potions makes me itch.

Better than dull uniformity

Just eat the whole bloody thing. Problem solved!

Yep, had some of that Tony's stuff and it was lovely but I won't buy it again because it's too awkward to break up!

I also clicked thinking this was going to be about Tony's. Frustrating.

I only want one row!

--well, not really. I want the whole bar. I
I would look like aunt marge in harry potter if I had more than a row on a regular basis--

it's not tony's
it's my supermarket own brand.
I'm distraught

This is the best approach tbh

If it's about Tony's Chocolonely the company explains the uneven sections of the bar on their website tonyschocolonely.com/uk/en/frequently-asked-questions

Sorry, I now see I was barking up the wrong tree.

I don't care about tony's.
I won't buy them because of the silly shapes.

I feel really irrationally strongly about this. It’s so annoying and all the expensive brands do it.

Yes! They are just enticingly hoping you'll eat the lot ~~and I often do ~~

Better than dull uniformity
I totally agree @B33Fr33. Don't get me wrong, I love a square of chocolate as much as the next person, but after that square I like to mix it up a bit.

WTF has my life become that irregular shaped chocolate is the only bit of excitement I have. Just fucking kill me now.

I thought I was safe with cheap own brand chocolate.

Tony's is annoying if you open it forgetting it is uneven and try to break the end off.

The best way is to open it fully and bite it from the edges, stop when/if you have had enough, wrap it up, then next time stuff the big centre bit in your mouth in one go.

It is the only chocolate I buy now, because it actually contains chocolate, most others are far too sweet.

YANBU op. I won’t be buying one of these bars again because of the uneven chunks, I won’t buy Tony’s either.
