Can't say I've ever had Toblerone.

Is it good?

I enjoy it, goes nice in cheesecake too. Thought i have to admit I prefer Lindt right now if I had to choose between the two.
 
How DARE THEY! Half the fun is the shape and snapping the piece off. Haven't been able to afford one in donkey's years, but I remember the taste fondly.

Because they calling out the BS of shrinkflation. Just price the item as it should be and stop trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes. Have you seen the price of All Gold Tomato Sauce? Went from 750ml to 700ml so they could keep the price the same, they said, as if that happened. Wonder when they going to reduce it to 500ml to allow them to "keep the price the same".
 
They're all doing it. Atleast they leaving the recipe the same, unlike Nestlé who will replace things like cocoa with sugar.

No, that's not what people are upset about, well maybe some of them but not the majority. Most people said that Toblerone should have rather just removed some of the triangles to make it smaller rather than adjust the shape. It's more about altering the iconic shape than the size and cost.
