The people spoke. Tolberone listened.
Remember when a couple of years ago Toblerone announced they would be changing the shape of the iconic chocolate bar, to have larger gaps between the peaks, and fans were not happy? Well, two years later and it seems that finally fans' prayers have been answered, as the original shape of the Toblerone is making a comeback.
According to reports, the company behind the popular chocolate bar, US-based company Mondelez International, has said that the new shape had not been a 'perfect long-term answer' for its customers, and has plans to change the current size of the bar from 150g to 200g. This new weight would also revert it to its traditional shape.
The Toblerone was first downsized in 2016 due to a rise in the cost of ingredients, however the design with the larger gaps between the peaks wasn't received well by fans, with many taking to social media to vent their frustration.
One person joked, 'I think the gap in the #Toblerone is big enough to take a paperback now?', whilst another said, '@Toblerone not happy to see the size of the gaps in these new bars'.
One Twitter user set up a petition back in 2016 and just a few days ago received an email to say the petition had been successful!
At the beginning of the year Toblerone teased the 'new' full chocolate bar, saying, 'Here’s to a prosperous 2018… And by prosperous, we mean full of Toblerone'.
However, we have yet to have a confirmed date for when we can buy them in the shops. Although Mondelez International have yet to confirm the news, the BBC are reporting that the company have now ceased production of the smaller 150g bar.
With the news that Toblerone is reverting to its old size, take a look at all the other discontinued chocolate bars we miss!
CLOSER chocolate bars we miss
1 of 231) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
2 of 232) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
3 of 233) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4 of 234) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5 of 235) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6 of 236) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7 of 237) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8 of 238) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9 of 239) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10 of 2310) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11 of 2311) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12 of 2312) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13 of 2313) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14 of 2314) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15 of 2315) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16 of 2316) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17 of 2317) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18 of 2318) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19 of 2319) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20 of 2320) Texan
The mighty chew.
21 of 2321) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
22 of 2321) White maltesers
Despite fans clamouring for the return of the white chocolate delights, Mars say they have no intention of bringing them back. Sob!
23 of 2323) Galaxy Truffle
The fan favourite was inexplicably removed and replaced by Twix in Celebrations tubs back in 2011. It's clear that some people are not over it as a petition was made in 2018 to bring the chocolate back.A spokesperson said: "We're always interested in hearing our fans' views on the products they love, but we don't have any current plans to bring back Galaxy Truffles."Get in the bin.
