Chocolate lovers took to social media to grieve the ‘confectionary catastrophe’

Fans of the chocolate took to social media to express their grief. One said Nestlé had “gone too far” while another said the discontinuation marks “the downfall of the UK”.
Now, the confectionary company has dealt a further blow to sweet-toothed Brits and has decided to stop manufacturing Animal Bars.
After 60 years on the market, Nestlé said sales of the nostalgic treat have “steadily declined”, forcing them to ditch the bar.
A Nestlé spokesperson said: “I can confirm that Animal Bar is also being delisted due to the low performance of the product and a steady decline in its sales over the past few years.”
After more than 60 years as a staple on confectionary shelves, Nestlé also revealed on Wednesday it was axing the iconic Caramac bar for similar reasons.
Fans of the caramel treat called the double chocolate elimination a “confectionary catastrophe” and others said they would be stockpiling both bars.
Chocolate lovers shouldn’t be too disheartened though - some bars that have been previously ‘axed’ made it back it the shelves, including Wispas.
