WELL, we have stood for the reduction of everything from Cadbury’s Wholenut to Toblerone but now manufacturers have taken the (extremely reduced) biscuit.

Nestle is removing the walnut from the top off Walnut Whips to give us a quite different kind of choccy treat altogether. Instead, this mini mountain of creaminess that has delighted us since 1910 will carry a sweet vanilla caramel or a mint fondant in the middle. What?!

I’m sure Trading Standards would have something to say if they continue calling it a Walnut anything. Life as we know it has just got a little less sweet.
