British people are losing their minds over 2016's final insult
Brexit, Toblerone... now Roses.
What fresh hell must the UK endure before 2016 is over?
This time, people are losing their minds over changes to their beloved Cadbury Roses.
The confectionary giant actually changed the packaging style in April from a twist tie to a packet. But it wasn't until people tucked into their traditional holiday tubs that everyone noticed all at once.
And wow, are they annoyed.

While the tub of Roses has gotten lighter in weight over the years, a company spokesperson told the Guardian that the most recent change only affected individual chocolate weights.
“While the weight of the individual units have adapted to accommodate the new shape and wrapper, there is no change to the overall weight in both tubs and cartons of Cadbury Roses. The changes relate solely to the shape and design,” he said.
Let's hope this is the final insult of 2016.
