We won’t write a more serious story all week… the famous Pink Snack is now reduced from three fingers to two.

As we saw this week with the whole BOD thing, us Irish can get very upset really quickly when a national icon is messed around with.

Therefore, we hope the folks at Cadbury are prepared for a sh*tstorm as it appears the beloved Pink Snack, the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee, has been drastically altered.

Instead of the familiar three fingers, the chocolate treat is now down to just two. Cadbury responded to a complaint on their Facebook page about the change saying: “We understand that you are disappointed. We had to take this decision owing to a range of financial factors, such as commodity pricing and rising costs. We have lowered the price to reflect the change and ensure Pink Snack remains a great value, affordable treat.”

The 33 per cent reduction in Pink Snack goodness is a hard blow to take on a sunny Friday. We hope we haven’t ruined your day.
