I'm not sure I even realised there was a dark chocolate version.

They're flimsy these days. The valleys between the Alps are much wider and the base is thin. Back in my day they were much more dense and tightly packed.

That and shrinkflation. Cocoa prices are up and dark chocolate has more cocoa.

Also, hurting your mouth with hard triangular bits of chocolate has gone out of fashion.

It's a major blow for forgetful frequent flyers too: giant Toblerones are famously what you can always find in any airport to buy someone you completely forgot to buy something for and pretend you didn't forget.

The Swiss make their own Tobleronestyle chocolate since Mondelez has crappy ingredients and produces in Slovakia. It's way better and cheaper

I like dark chocolate, but I wouldn't buy Toblerone I'm dark chocolate.

I just tried - already I can't get a full-size dark Toblerone for less than £25 each
