A REAL Controversy!
http://money.cnn.com/2016/11/08/news/toblerone-chocolate-shape-change/index.html
Loyal fans of Toblerone reacted with horror on Tuesday after discovering that the distance between the triangular chucks in their favorite chocolate bar had expanded overnight.
Mondelez International (MDLZ), which produces the airport shopping staple, blamed rising ingredient prices for the change. By adding space between the triangles, the company was able to keep the bar's original packaging and length, but reduce the amount of chocolate.
The result is that bars that formerly weighed 170 gram have been slashed to 150 grams. Forty grams have been carved out of bars that used to contain 400 grams. The price remains the same, but customers are getting roughly 10% less chocolate.
...
The media should be focusing more on chocolate-based issues!
The before and after bars:

Re: A REAL Controversy!
Yes, now THIS is an important issue that we should all be focusing on.
We've been so distracted with nonsense like elections, emails, immigration.
All a distraction from the real problems in the world, such as this!
The media is DEFINITELY biased against chocolate.

I bought Chips Ahoy for my DD the other day and they were like bite sized compared to the size they used to be.
Total rip off.
Also, while we are complaining about shit, did you know that the serving size of a Vlassic Dill pickle spear is 2/3 of a pickle on the nutrition label?
Who the fuk eats 2/3 of a goddamn pickle.
Really?
