Chocolate lovers excitedly opening their Cadbury advent calendar thought they were “going mad” after it appeared to be missing a door. Many fans took to social media on Thursday (December 1) after being unable to find door number one on their Heroes advent calendar.
One disgruntled shopper even jokingly demanded a refund after their upset child eventually found the door which only led to “the pain of getting a Twister.” The text on the first door has been printed in dark purple against a purple background, leaving many people unable to spot it, Leicester Live reports.
Chocolate fans took to Twitter to slam the Cadbury calendar, as @nosila17 said: “My son was most upset! I demand a refund and then the pain of getting the twister which he doesn’t like not a good day for him win for me.”

@MattBlack2022 said: “Good start to Advent, @CadburyUK Heroes Advent Calendar hasn’t got a “1”! Ha ha ha.”
@jrrr1510 added: “Terrible design choice. Purple on purple! Ridiculous.”
Another wrote: "If my Advent calendar doesnt have a 1, does it mean santa hates me, or just @CadburyUK ? There are gonna be some crying children and stressed parents this morning..."
Luckily, some eagle-eyed chocoholics posted snaps of their calendar pointing out the location of the elusive door.

And @leemarmara said: "I thought I was going mad trying to find it!"
Responding to the complaints on Twitter, Cadbury wrote: "Sorry to hear that! Please contact the customer care team here: http://bit.ly/YCpDCW & they'll look into this for you."
Despite the initial struggle of finding the first door, this year’s Heroes advent calendar should delight Cadbury fans, as it includes all of the brands chocolatey hits including Fudge, Eclair, Wispa, Twirl, Dairy Milk, and Crème Egg. It comes as Cadbury released two new chocolate bars in October, the flavours of which were initially kept a mystery.
After inviting fans to try and guess what they were in a bid for a £5,000 prize, the chocolatier revealed its new rhubarb and custard and blue raspberry slushie flavours. LancashireLive has approached Cadbury for comment.
