Cadbury to discontinue iconic chocolate coins #ChocCoinGate
Cadbury has discontinued production of its famous chocolate coins, in an announcement dubbed #ChocCoinGate by crestfallen tweeters.
The confectionary giant today admitted via Twitter that the Christmas favourite is no longer in production:
