Now in more bad news for chocolate lovers, Cadbury has shrunk the size of Twirl multi-packs.

"The Twirl bars were already getting incrementally smaller but all of a sudden Cadbury's have now reduced the multipack from 4 to 3-bars!

"Could not believe it. Had to find a replacement."

While another person added: "Just a curious post really to flag a @CadburyUK issue.

"They have reduced Twirl multipack sizes from 4x2bars to 3x2 bars but still charging the same. Not sure about other lines.

"Prices skyrocket from £1.10 to £1.75 now this, frankly outrageous."

Mondelēz International (Cadbury owners), speaking to The Sun, explained the decision was made due to "manufacturing constraints" and there had only been a "slight reduction" in weight.

A Mondelēz International spokesperson said: "Due to manufacturing constraints that cannot be easily resolved, we’ve made the decision to move from packs containing four smaller twin-finger Cadbury Twirl bars to packs containing three full-sized twin-finger Cadbury Twirl bars.

“Whilst we appreciate that there is a slight reduction in the overall weight of our Cadbury Twirl multipacks, this move enables us to retain the twin finger proposition within our Multipacks offer, which is a defining and much-loved feature of the Cadbury Twirl brand for our consumers.

“We remain committed to providing choice to consumers, and continue to offer a variety of different pack sizes within our Cadbury multipack range.”

Despite the change to Twirl multi-packs, Mondelēz International revealed there were no plans to make similar changes to Wispa, Flake and Dairy Milk chocolates.

The company spokesperson, speaking to The Sun, continued: "We have no current plans to make any similar pack changes to our remaining Cadbury 4-pack range, and are confident that our new Cadbury Twirl 3x2-pack will complement our existing range of multipacks, and offer great value to consumers through its unique twin-finger proposition."
