They’re small enough as it is!
Terry’s Chocolate Orange fans are outraged at the news that their beloved chocolate treat has srunk in size. This year they appeared on shelves with a weight of 157g, compared to 175g the previous year. That’s a reduction in size of 10%.
To make matters worse, shops are still selling them at the original price.
It might have gone unnoticed if it weren’t for a Facebook group who revealed this information. They said:
“Mondelēz International owners of the Terry’s brand since 2012 have now decided to shrink the 1932 chocolate orange from 175g down to 157g, a subtle and obvious trick that they hoped nobody would notice. Well, we noticed and we’re sick of them ruining British chocolate.”
Naturally, people are raging:
THEY ARE REDUCING THE TERRYS CHOCOLATE ORANGE BY 10%. THIS IS A NATIONAL OUTRAGE

#TerrysChocolateOrange if it gets any smaller you’ll have to rebrand it as a Terrys Chocolate Satsuma! #TerrysChocolateSatsuma #shrinkage
