TOBLERONE shrinkage - a cost-saving move by Swiss chocolate manufacturer Toblerone has backfired as the trimming has gone viral on social media.
By shaving about 10 per cent off its product, creating wider valleys and thinner mountains (comparison is pictured below), but still charging the same price, Toblerone fans have been outraged at the insult.
As British consumer Tony Matthews put it, "The shape of the bar may have looked like the Swiss Alps before, now it's a bit more Holland".
A MASSIVE shaving cream fight was the welcome of choice for students at St Andrews University in Scotland last month.
The messy battle is part of the 600-year-old institution's annual 'Raisin Weekend'.
The tradition sees new students to the college inaugurated by the older undergraduates by being chased and sprayed with bottles of the foamy cream.
"The foam feels pretty weird," one student commented.
"Some people are using top-quality stuff like Gillette, which isn't quite as sore on the eyes, but the Sainsbury's stuff is a bit sore," he continued.
