Can’t believe its taken me 7 years to learn of the outrageous decline of everyone’s favourite combination chocolate treat / weapon: the Terry’s Chocolate orange.

Chocolate orange

It’s been air-gapped!

From Wikipedia:

On 29 May 2016, the UK product size was reduced from 175g to 157g by changing the moulded shape of each segment to leave an air gap between each piece.

I guess they thought noone would notice that the last two digits of the weight had been swapped around.

Compounding the crime:

Despite this, the price doubled in some retail outlets.

@adammedcalf Ah yeah I somehow remembered this. Yet another part of the enshittification of our country.

@SimonWoods you’ve a great memory! And, I agree, if the various dictionaries don’t nominate ‘enshittification’ as word of the year this year it’ll be an injustice.
