SWEET-toothed shoppers are only just realising an iconic chocolate bar is missing from the shelves.<\/p>\n

The Topic bar was discontinued in 2021 and choc lovers are not happy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Mars favourite was quietly taken off shelves in 2021 and it seems fans are only just starting to realise.<\/p>\n

The popular bar contained hazelnuts, nougat and caramel and was first launched in the UK in 1962.<\/p>\n

It was initially removed from boxes of Celebrations in 2006, and now it has been taken out of production completely.<\/p>\n

The chocolate bar was officially discontinued in August 2021 with the final sales being recorded by Nielsen in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Fans of the Topic have been taking to social media to vent after discovering that the nutty chocolate treat is no more.<\/p>\n

One person said: "So had a craving for a Topic this afternoon and couldn't find one anywhere.<\/p>\n

"Google tells me the manufacturer discontinued production last year."<\/p>\n

Another posted on Twitter: "Hi MarsUK I recently learned that my favourite chocolate Topic has been discontinued.<\/p>\n

"This is highly disappointing. Why did this happen? I need them back in my life."<\/p>\n

Another person added: "I was looking for Topic's a few weeks back and seeing Mars had discontinued them in 2022.<\/p>\n

"Mars bring them back!"<\/p>\n

One furious fan recently posted on Facebook: "Apparently, the Topic chocolate bar has been discontinued.<\/p>\n

"And yet the Boost bar still exists. This country!"<\/p>\n

A Mars Wrigley UK spokesperson said: "It was the topic on everyone\u2019s lips when our Topic bars were officially discontinued in August 2021. <\/p>\n

"At Mars Wrigley UK we\u2019re always listening to fans of our chocolate treats and recognise the nationwide love for Topic. <\/p>\n

"While the traditional Topic bar is currently not available in the UK, we have evolved the brand and launched the delicious Vegan Topic for those in need of a hazelnut hit."<\/p>\n

It is not the only shock that chocolate lovers have had in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Mars recently confirmed that it had discontinued its dark chocolate Bounty bars.<\/p>\n

This left fans fuming including one of the bar's biggest fans, Piers Morgan who said he was "outraged".<\/p>\n

Posting on X (formerly Twitter) he said: "I've just been told my favourite dark chocolate red wrapper\u00a0Bounty bars\u00a0have been discontinued, and this is the last one left in my dressing room stockpile.<\/p>\n

"I'm outraged. This will cause immeasurable harm to my\u00a0mental health. Please reconsider."<\/p>\n

Other fans of the dark chocolate Bounty were quick to share in his pain, with one fan saying: "Noooo. Dark chocolate Bounty's beat milk chocolate Bountys hands down."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other chocolate favourites are making a return and shoppers could not be happier.<\/p>\n
