I haven't had one since they cut down on the sizes and amount of peaks. But I guess they finally switched it back to the original.

It isn't even the astronauts chocolate like Tang was the astronauts drink. |

Quoted: Man, I could eat a Toblerone right now. Haven't had one in probably a decade at least. They were a rare and amazing treat when I was a kid. I am literally tempted to drive to the store JUST to buy one.  Which one do you like? Probably my favorite candy bar. I love just the standard one....delicious. |

Chocolate, however, is one notable exception.  See's candy. You're not wrong, but you can't usually get that stuff in a regular store. Europe has chocolate in corner markets that you have to go to a boutique candy store to get here usually. |

When my sister lived in Switzerland for a couple of years the Toblerones IN Switzerland cost more to buy than the ones you found abroad
The firm that makes the chocolate, the Tobler brothers, did a lot of good work with the Allies in WW2. Not too well known |

I love their chocolate.
I bought a big ole' bar somewhere overseas: Singapore, Hong Kong, or Bangkok. Somewhere with hot Asian women in thigh lenght skirts. I wanted to eat it on the long 87 hour flight back to the US. I entered customs, declare nothing, and get stopped for a random search. Cute lady "busts" exporting too much chocolate and points to the chart with the limitations. It was just one of their big bars. I ask the customs officer can I just throw the bar away. She says no that I can keep XXX number of newton mole grams and that if I just eat the end of the bar she thinks it will be OK. Thank you officer. I peel the thing open and bite off the last triangle. She smiles and sends me along. |

My sister in law visits from Germany every so often. This last time I had to ask her NOT to bring me another 40 lbs of chocolate. It was killing me cause I'd eventually eat it all. But my favorite is the rum trauben nuss.

The gold one and the white one were great. In the great depresion of '08 there was some scandal that they made the bar smaller but the box was the same size or some shit like that without lowering the price. I have not bought one since.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is this stuff? Good Swiss chocolate with a bit of nougat, honey, and almonds (tiny pieces). It is an excellent chocolate treat. Many grocery stores and pharmacies carry them. Lindt milk chocolate is also an excellent Swiss chocolate. It will melt in your mouth. Oddly enough, Big Lots usually carries bars of these for a very good price. My favorite is the Albert's/Moritz Ice Cubes chocolate candy. They melt so easily that you can only buy them in cooler months. If you ever eat one you will become instantly addicted! |

I grew up eating Toblerone and just bought some recently at BJ's.
