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?

YANBU op. I won’t be buying one of these bars again because of the uneven chunks, I won’t buy Tony’s either.
what an insulting name as well! happiness! without proper squares!

That montezumas is what’s currently annoying me! I got a box of about 15 little bars in lots of flavours and the bar design is crap.

SlopesOff · 15/01/2021 21:26

Montezumas isn't all that great anyway, if you have to get unevenly segmented chocolate you may as well get Tony's.

CarlottaValdez · 15/01/2021 21:37

Agreed. It was a Christmas present and it’s a bit disappointing

Stick to Dairy Milk - problem solved!

I want a Tony’s (never heard of them before) but then I’m more of an “eat the whole bar in one sitting” kind of woman.

YABU to describe yourself as a chocoholic and eat a row of plain supermarket chocolate.

Not even chocolate

It's shite, isn't it? Earlier in the week I was trying to break a bar of chocolate and couldn't fathom why it was so difficult for me to do so. It was only after opening the wrapper that I could see it was split into uneven shapes. Bloody Cadbury's.

Oh naff off with that elitist shite. If someone is happy with supermarket chocolate, and I include myself in that, then let them crack on. You can appreciate both expensive and inexpensive chocolate, one does not cancel out the other.

100% agree. Nice neat rows please.

As so many seem to agree hopefully we will see an end to that madness!

Cut it with a big knife.

BrieAndChilli · 15/01/2021 21:58

Try making sure all 3 kids have equal amounts of chocolate!!!

rc22 · 15/01/2021 22:04

Which brand is it OP?

Cotswolds10 · 15/01/2021 22:05

Just popping in to say I love this thread. PP on both sides of the argument making me laugh. Thank you for cheering up a dull Friday evening. (But for the record, discovered Tony’s as a Christmas present and love it, the chocolate is gorgeous and uneven chunks allowed me to divide it between me and my DDs to my advantage!)

redcandlelight · 15/01/2021 22:06

@Eckhart

Cut it with a big knife.
Shock that could be quite dangerous. imagine sitting in a&e with a chocolate splinter in your eyeball!

Eckhart · 15/01/2021 22:08

No, it's fine. I make chocolates and regularly have to cut chocolate up. It's a bit weird... 'Would anyone like a slice of chocolate whilst I've got it open?' but it works for cutting off the right weight.

Chocolate splinters in the eye melt into salted chocolate tears Grin

YABVU to use the words 'uneven squares'. All chocolate is the work of the devil and unfortunately I'm a satanist Halo.

Eckhart · 15/01/2021 22:10

Anyway, isn't it always in a nice neat rectangle? And that's a portion?

guilty

but for some reason 'uneven bits' doesn't sound right either.

Uneven chunks?

OwlWearingGlasses · 15/01/2021 22:17

Yes. And the delicious but rubbishly thin Green and Blacks dark chocolate that never snaps off in a proper row.

OwlWearingGlasses · 15/01/2021 22:19

Dairy Milk is 'may contain gluten' which REALLY angers me as we can't have it due to Coeliac disease.
WHY Cadbury's WHY?
