so we're voting RRP , untasted products Hot now .....OK

Well if it tastes just as good as the original Toblerone did before they ruined it then I say well done poundland for listening to what people want. Now, if you can just do the same thing and release a Creamy Egg with its original size and taste then I will be able to smile again. Bring back large tins of Quality Roads as well lol

White Toblerones are amazing, the regular ones are just okay. I'll give this a try out of curiosity if people offer good feedback.

I think Aldi used to do a decent clone but that vanished, will give this a go.

Not even been released yet and it deal of the day confused

Here's the creation of Toblerclone / Twin Peaks:

Why can't everyone do the same as Poundland and make there products in the UK we need to make are country grow again not sauce cheap products from other countries let's build are country to what it used to be INDEPENDENT and self sufficient

ITS IN POUNDLAND IN JULY IN KEIGHLEY IV BEEN TOLD :-)

who buys toblerone outside of duty free anyway?

Hooray for 'British chocolate' taste, whatever that is. I'm sure it will be better than that nasty Swiss chocolate.

Hmm getting smaller again. The usual poundshop weight is 200g for £1

Sooner or later someone is going to figure out that Toblerone is extremely average confectionary that comes in a fancy shape and package.

Good Luck to Poundland if they can take that business away from Toblerone though. By all accounts the chocolate is very close to the original and Toblerone took the **** when they reduced the size of the chocolate.

"it would be good if we could launch by end of May"
They seem to have missed the mark a wee bit.

On ITV now!

2 weeks until we all visit Poundland

wasn't this listed about 4 days ago ?

I been today Poundland I can't find anything

Is there such a thing as British chocolate after Cadbury"s sell off.

Plus what a load of corporation publicity BS. Why do they always sound like they have eaten a poetry book.

I thought the Toblerone shape was trademarked!

Curious about the "British Chocolate Taste" - not that sure I like Walker's Chocolates from what I've tried in the past - so will buy to try. But this isn't really a Deal, it's more for Misc, surely.

for clarification it will be the marketing department and not public relations department. the marketing department is the one that prides itself on producing fluffy bullsh*t.

DAMN FINE CHOCOLATE.. AND HOT!

Yay !!!
GET LOST EUROPE !!! we don't need you. We have our own toblerones !!!!!!!
They taste **** like. But who cares !!!!!!!!

Anybody remember when hot deals had actual hot deals?

Available the first week of July according to their press release.

Problem is, for the relatively small weight difference, it has to be just as good as Toblerone. It may be, but in general, own brand things aren't quite as good as the leading brands.

'British Chocolate' taste - sounds like cheap & nasty ingredients to me - probably less cocoa and more crap.

Curses, I've been rumbled!

Loads of talk but has anyone actually tried and tasted this chocolate? And how does it compare? And is there a dark chocolate version?

I don't like the updated Toblerone because I can no longer smugly tell people to snap the triangles together as they struggle, hulk-like, to break them apart.

Well it is, actually. The ability to write sentences in an interesting way ("please buy our choclate" likely wouldn't sell many bars) and correctly isn't something that comes naturally.

It helps with spelling, grammar and using the right apostrophes and quotation marks (see your post as well as the one I was replying to previously).

Toblerone doesnt taste of anything . Better chocs out there

standard price.

Whooops! My point about hyperbole still stands though.

Umm.. I'm not sure Dodge62 is making the point you think they're making or on the side you think they are.

They seem to be pro-EU to me, rather than the caricature you claim they are.

The chocolates are not what they seem.

Look up "literally" and "caricature" and try again.

They're going to do well at first as loads of people will buy them to try and compare. After the initial hype it will be whether the product actually tastes good that counts.

Sigh. Did you actually bother to read the article? Did you understand it? The case was about whether other countries were allowed to ban our chocolate unless it was labelled "chocolate substitute". There was never any risk of us not being able to sell it in the UK, and in any case we won the case and other countries had to accept it.

Once we're out of the EU, they'll be free to ban any products they feel like. If France decides that British sausages have to be labelled "emulsified high fat offal tubes" there will be nothing we can do about it. Stupid misunderstandings like yours are why we're in this mess. The "meddling Brussels bureaucrats" were on our side in this case, but won't ever be again.

So another thing that the eu tried to force us to accept their version. Why should we be told what we can sell in the UK.

One of the worst chocolates ever! Heat added for the effort.

The major irony here is.that poundland sell scaled down versions of many popular confectionary products to be able to sell them at this price point. In fact many suppliers now produce smaller product sizes specifically for the poundshop market. So for them to now try and take the moral high ground with the nonsensical statement above just shows how ridiculous things have become.

Just give us back our 68g Mars bars with thick milk chocolate on the top and charge a sensible price like 50p a bar and I for one will buy them all day long!!

Damn fine deal, op. Thank you :smiley:

Nothing to do with schooling. It's just the way that PR's waffle on in long sentences and paragraphs about a product which basically a choclate bar.

Also I think the Ceo did not write the press release himself. Sounds like a minion wrote it.

Can't recall if I ever had G&B before Cadbury owned them, but I've certainly not been impressed with the stuff they produce now.

Damn! I was concerned this would be made by Walkers. Urgh, the foulest tasting chocolate in the history of chocolate making...

It's so waxy, I swear if you put a wick in it it'd burn like a candle!

Toblerwars.......size is not the defining factor... it's taste that matters most
True british chocolate taste does NOT contain palm oil/fat.....or any other fatty filler :wink:

Poundland have named it Twin Peaks after Wrekin hill in Shropshire not the tv programme !!

Real Toblerones are £1 for a 150g bar in Iceland currently.
Could be useful to know when you've bought this Toblerclone and realise you've an extra 30g of something you don't really want to eat! :smirk:

Sort of hoped that Green&Black's would still be manufactured in the UK, but Wikipedia suggests not :disappointed: Dunno whether this happened before or after the Cadbury sell out.

The illusion of an old larger toblerone being back won't wash for long when people try it.
It's akin to aldi claiming to have brought back old size mars bars by making the horrible clones the same size.
Different product equals zero comparison.

won't taste anywhere as good though

Because some of them went to school?

“That’s why we’ve created a new £1 alternative for them - the size they wanted, with a British taste, and with all the spaces in the right places.”:confused:
