Freddo Frog: Aussie makes a shock discovery about nostalgic chocolates sold overseas: ‘What the f*** is this?’

Cadbury’s iconic Freddo Frogs have a slightly different design in Britain, as one Australian expat was quick to point out.

The Australian, who currently lives in Canada, received the chocolate frog as a gift from a friend who bought it from a specialty store in Great Britain.

British Freddos apparently lack the shape and definition of their counterparts Down Under and instead have a distinct chocolate frame.

Images comparing the two brands were shared online by the bemused expat, who wanted to know why they were different.

“What the hell is this?” he wrote on Reddit.

In contrast, the Australian design (pictured) has Freddo cut to shape with more room for detail on the larger overall frog

Commentators were quick to condemn the ‘inferior’ brand.

“Since when do Freddo Frogs look like they’re stuck in a coffin,” one user asked.

‘That’s a shame!’ another added.

This isn’t the first time chocoholics have lashed out at the British Freddo design.

In February, some said the new “drugged design” made the cartoon frog’s facial features appear too long, with narrow eyes and gave him a creepy smile from ear to ear.

“What’s Freddo doing… Meth?” wrote one Australian in a post on the popular Facebook group Meanwhile in Australia.

“Freddo found the rave scene, doof doof double drop,” another woman joked.

In Britain, the Freddo Frog has become synonymous with the rising cost of living.

Brits use chocolate as a point of reference, as it often turns out to be one of the most inflated products available in stores.

By 2018, the price of a Freddo had skyrocketed by 200 percent since the turn of the century.

In 2019, a study by Full Fact found that its price had risen five times faster than inflation.

The calculation is often called the ‘Freddo Index’.

The British Freddo Frog design also came under criticism in February when it was mocked on Facebook for looking like it was on drugs
