Disappearing into the Toblerone Triangle

Graham Watson

9th November 2016

Is this the most unusual effect of Brexit? The shape of Toblerone has changed and consumers aren't overly pleased. The changing shape of the bar reflects higher costs reducing the weight of the bars from 400 to 360g and 170 to 150g.

However, the company itself has denied that its a Brexit effect - although they were unable to clarify whether or not the shape of the bar has changed across Europe.
