While the U.S. election was taking over our news media, one story managed to break through and create a lot of hype. Toblerone Swiss Chocolate has drastically altered the shape of their signature bars, and fans are not impressed! The internet was flooded with outrage as photos of the new shaped bar were shared. But fear not chocolate lovers, as this change only affects certain bars, most of which are sold in Britain and through airport vendors. The 170 g bar was reduced to 150 g, and the 400 g bar usually sold in airports is now down to 360 g. Are you a fan of Toblerone?

However, changing the shape of the bars is what's really bothering Toblerone fans. "It used to resemble the Swiss Alps, and now it looks more like Holland", said one critic. Although the taste remains the same, to mess with those chocolate shapes is totally uncalled for. What other chocolate bars would you hate for someone to mess with?
