“There truly is no god”: How social media reacted to the Toblerone tragedy

By: Natasha Clark

Fans of the popular nutty, triangle-shaped chocolate bar Toblerone are bitterly disappointed after the company revealed a change to its design.

Mondelez International, who makes the product, has increased the gaps between the triangles to reduce the weight of two of its bars in the UK.

This is not OK, fans say.

This tragedy has not gone unnoticed by lovers of the chocolate bar this morning. Here are some of the best comments and reactions.
