wasn't it only supposed to be up for one year? as mentioned by @JustineMumsnet on that thread?

That was back in November 15... so why do we still have it? Confused

Oh they are purple. Ignore Grin

NotStoppedAllDay · 27/12/2016 10:27

has the op's over the top mock 'outrage' actually got her anywhere though??

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/12/2016 10:29

The op has a good point, why are cadburys getting free advertising?

00100001 · 27/12/2016 10:34

notstopped its been a whole 90 minutes since I posted. I'd be amazed if the emoticon was removed in that time, especially considering the time of year..!

Cadburys, I'll send you an invoice for advertisement.

bowchikkawowwow · 27/12/2016 13:06

Tbf if I see the chocolate emoji I'm more likely to go and buy a bar of galaxy.

TiggyD · 27/12/2016 22:38

Can you change the chocolate bar emoji to a picture of what it tastes like? Walrus cock.

DeepAndCrispAndEvenTheWind · 27/12/2016 22:43

Walrus cock?!

WorraLiberty · 27/12/2016 23:03

Well they've been advertising mooncups Wine for years, so why not a bar of Chocolate for that particular time of the month?

WorraLiberty · 27/12/2016 23:04

Or is the Chocolate for when we've smoked the Torch and got the munchies?

HerChristmasFattyness · 27/12/2016 23:11

worra Grin @ mooncups

RubyGoat · 27/12/2016 23:22

walrus cock, walrus crap, maybe. I've never tasted either & I'll not be tasting Crapbury's mockolate either. It used to be so yummy & now it's just... distressingly chewy.

ClarissaDarling · 28/12/2016 08:06

It reminds me of that mockolate episode of friends... It is what evil tastes like!

KatherineMumsnet · 28/12/2016 14:31

Hallo all,

Thanks so much for flagging, binary- well spotted! We've removed it now as it was indeed just a one year thing.

00100001 · 28/12/2016 16:20

Thanks :)

OhYouBadBadKitten · 28/12/2016 16:40

Well done Binary :)

TheMortificadosDragon · 28/12/2016 16:49

Chocolate It's still there... can you actually get rid of an emoticon once it's out there in posts?

But we should have chocolate - but generic rather than branded. Its a parenting site FGS, how are we supposed to work without chocolate?

SausageSoda · 28/12/2016 16:52

The things some people get uptight about Grin

Never knew it was connected to Cadburys just thought it was an unbranded piece of chocolate for the sake of having a chocolate emoji. Still don't feel an increased desire to go and buy some Casburys now that I do know.

SausageSoda · 28/12/2016 16:54

The chocolate has been removed from the MN emojis Dragon but if you have an iPhone and type in chocolate as text it will give you the option of adding a chocolate emoji to your text

TiggyD · 28/12/2016 17:14

That's not chocolate. That's 2 beds.

TheMortificadosDragon · 28/12/2016 17:20

The emoji is still there on the app (maybe won't go till there's an update?) but I often type them in anyway, being fond of some of the hidden gems. Grin Dragon Archers

But I'd have thought they could make [ chocolate ] display a different thing as it's their own?

TimMumsnet · 29/12/2016 09:44

Hi @TheMortificadosDragon - the app refreshes the emojis every time the app is quit completely (double-tap home, and swipe the app) and restarted.
Hope that helps!
