Toblerone

Mondays are really shit most of the time, with a long week of work ahead, and the weekend a distant memory. 

However, today we have some wonderful new that is guaranteed to brighten up the saddest day of the week. 

What could we possibly be referring to, I hear you ask? 

WELL, Toblerone have released their own ce creams – and holy moly, they look delicious.

The triangular Swiss chocolate with honey and almond nougat has been transformed into individual ice creams, and they look and sound like quite the treat. 

Upon further investigation, the product has initially been rolled out in the UK, but we're expecting them to make the leap across the pond before the Summer. 

Currently in cities across the UK, you can feast on chocolate and honey ice cream, surrounded by milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat pieces, for just three quid from our pals at Tesco.

This three quid buys a pack of three ice creams, so you have the opportunity to share (or eat them all because #loveyourself). 

We genuinely cannot WAIT for these bad boys to hit Irish stores.

As Christmas is around the corner, it's safe to say the sale of Toblerones are going to sky rocket.

You're pretty much guaranteed to see one in a present, or at work or even in Santa's stocking on the fire place.

However, Santa may not be getting any of the chocolate goodness this year as the bar has changed its shape… and people aren't happy about it.

The BBC reported this morning that Toblerones in the UK have been altered and now sport a larger gap in between the peaks.

Toblerone released a statement in the UK in October: "Like many other companies, we are experiencing higher costs for numerous ingredients.

"We carry these costs for as long as possible, but to ensure Toblerone remains on-shelf, is affordable and retains the triangular shape, we have had to reduce the weight of just two of our bars in the UK, from the wider range of available Toblerone products."

So basically, the 400g bar is now 360g and the 170g bar is now 150g.

And here's what the people of Twitter had to say about it:

However, the new change has yet to be confirmed for Ireland… but we're guessing it's only a matter of time.

This week has seen two of the hottest days of the year so far, and while the public – both in Ireland and the UK – were facing into a week of nonstop chafing only made better by the promise of office ice creams, one store in the UK was busy preparing for the festive season.

With five months to go until we can officially say the Christmas season is upon us, a branch of Sainsburys in East Dulwich hedged their bets in the hopes some wily shoppers might use the hottest day of the year to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

Taking to Twitter to draw attention to the grocery giant's seasonal slip-up, Nigel Hall shared a snap of a shelf of milk-chocolate Toblerones festooned with miniature Christmas trees.
 

"Yes, on the hottest day of the year @Sainsburys has got Christmas stock in," he wrote in a tweet which has hit headlines this week.

With social media users wasting no time calling the retailer out on their festive eff-up, a spokesperson for Sainsbury commented on the matter, saying: "We’re looking into how this stock got onto our shelves in the middle of Summer."

And in a move which any lover of Dad jokes would appreciate they finished by insisting: "We appreciate it’s snow joke and will find out from our supplier whether they Noel more."

Oh, you guys!

If you come across any Christmas merchandise this summer, take a snap and email it to hello@shemazing.ie
