Viral Photo of Giant Yorkie Bar Revives Questions About Past Sizes

UK coverage revisits Yorkie's size changes, with memories of oversized editions unverified.

Overview

  • The Reddit image of a child holding an unusually large Yorkie bar drew widespread attention and requests to identify the edition.
  • Reporting recaps documented weight shifts, from 58g in the 1970s to a peak near 70g in the 2000s before settling at a current 46g.
  • Coverage highlights the brand’s past male-targeted packaging, with the “It’s Not for Girls” slogan removed by 2012.
  • Readers recall receiving very large bars as Christmas treats and suggest they were special or limited runs rather than a standard product.
  • Anecdotal claims cite resale sightings on eBay and Amazon at around £15 per bar, with no verified confirmation of current availability.
