Two years ago, they used to weigh a whopping 20g.

Cadbury’s global parent company Mondelez credited rising production costs for the condensed goody.

“We’re making a change to the size of the product because of manufacturing cost increases that we can no longer absorb,” spokesman Julian Polachek said.

The newly petite pleasure was picked up by a keen-eyed store man, who contacted the Herald Sun to report on the delivery of the lightweight frogs.

“We were not notified and our wholesale cost did not change,” he said.

People have already taken to Twitter to show their disdain for the disappearing frog.

It’s not the first time Cadbury has cut down its chocolate size.

In February, the company announced its Dairy Milk family chocolate blocks would shrink from 220g to 200g.

The rising cost of cocoa was blamed for the cut.
