CHOCOLATE fans were baffled this morning when they were unable to find the first door on the Heroes advent calendar.
The Cadbury advent calendar was slammed by shoppers who jokingly said they “wanted a refund”.

However, some eagle-eyed shoppers did spot the number, which has been disguised.
The text on the first door has been printed in dark purple, leaving people unable to spot it as it blended in with a picture of a Cadbury twirl.
In the 24-day countdown to Christmas, fans will get a range of different chocolates including Fudge, Eclair, Wispa, Dairy Milk, Crunchie and Double Decker.
But it got off to a bad start for some Cadbury’s fans, who took to Twitter to complain about the December 1 disappointment.
One disgruntled customer said: “Good start to advent. @CadburyUK Heroes advent calendar hasn’t got a 1.”
While another said they thought they were “going mad” when they couldn’t spot it.
A third 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.”

This social media user said: @CadburyUK my Heroes advent calendar didn’t have a number on door 1.
“I spent several minutes looking. I only know it was door 1 by process of elimination.
“And to make matters worse, it was a bloody Creme Egg Twister. Raging”.
The Sun has approached Cadbury for comment.
The Heroes advent calendar is priced at £5 in Asda, Co-op and Ocado.
It’s not the first time the selection box calendar has left some customers disappointed.
Last year, some shoppers were left furious after finding the first chocolate in their calendar was a Cadbury’s Creme Egg.
The “love-it-or-hate-it” chocolate divided Twitter users, with some “thrilled” to find the treat behind the door.
The Christmas countdown got off to a bad start for chocoholics with Celebrations calendars in previous years.
The first door revealed a miniature Bounty bar in 2018 and in 2019 the coconut chocolate was the treat for December 1 and 2.
Bounty-haters were given a break last year when they kicked off the the countdown with a Maltesers chocolate.
This year, shoppers have been snapping up a famous £6.50 Lindt advent calendar for just £4 from a major retailer.
