Change is rarely an easy thing to go through. People come and go, lessons get learned, and brands radically change their branding without even consulting us first. As we get older, it's just one assault after another when it comes to living through more and more of these scary and confusing times and confectionary companies do little to help with that.

This is what we have to understand when we watch a British woman have a meltdown over her favorite festive candy. Life is hard enough without a tin of tried and true chocolates known for their shiny wrappers decide to change to recyclable and woke plain ones. Many others have also sympathized with her plight on social media, but they also can't help but point out that it's amusing at the same time. If this is one of the main problems that you have, you should probably count yourself lucky.
