Talk:Toblerone

message: Swiss Chalet content was added by User:Auric The Rad, a Canadian.  Changed "North America" to "Canada".  Most people in the United States have never heard of Swiss Chalet, but many are familiar with Toblerone.  According to their website, they only have three restaurants in the states, all in New York. --Viriditas  | Talk 02:18, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

message: The pdf patent offered doesn't have Einstein's name on it. THe toberone.com it comes from says: "The TOBLERONE brand is registered with the Federal Institute for Intellectual Property in Bern, and shortly thereafter TOBLERONE becomes the first patented milk chocolate with almonds and honey. The physicist Albert Einstein, barely thirty years old, is employed at the Institute. A few years later, he will become famous for his theory of relativity." It doesn't say Einstein approved it. Therefore, probably not true. Besides his specialty was electromechanical devives. GangofOne 07:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I must dispute the number of peaks in the 35g bar.
I bought a multipack of 4 in the UK today and it certainly only had 8 peaks. :)
Wonder if it differs between countries? This was a yellow standard one btw :)
: Could it be that the UK is being diddled of a Toblerone peak? Or, if the weight is the same, does this mean that Toblerone peaks in the UK are larger than those abroad? Given that Toblerone is from Switzerland, there must be an official document that outlines all the dimensional standards of a bar, with angles and volume etc. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The bars I buy from my local store are 170g and have 11 peaks.
I haven't edited the main page as I'm not entirely sure how to add this info and don't want to risk damaging the page. If you need proof I can post a picture!

message: Some articles about the topic to change the design to save weight in the UK should be included:
* https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/nov/08/toblerone-gets-more-gappy-but-its-fans-are-not-happy
* http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37904703
I would like to see a commons picture of the new design

message: The "Cultural impact" section begins "It has been suggested that the distinct pyramidal shape of the bar lent its name to the Toblerone line, a series of anti-tank emplacements prevalent in Switzerland's border areas. However, the Toblerone brand was trademarked in 1909, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property in Bern."
What has the first sentence to to with the second? Since the Toblerone line was built in WWII, more than 30 years after the trademark date, the "however" makes no sense. Perhaps the person who wrote the second sentence didn't quite know what "lent its name to" means? Or am I missing something?
Unless anyone sees reasons not to, I suggest we remove "It has been suggested that" from the first sentence, and the entire second sentence, which only repeats information given earlier.

It had no acceptable source with editorial oversight and appeared to be a 'fame-grab' and nothing more. It should not be restored to the article unless an acceptable source can be found.

message: If I can be bothered I'll add it myself later, but re: Toblerone's cultural impact there are passing references to it in David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest - the earliest and most relevant example is that Toblerone is the main vice of a Saudi Prince who eats so much of the stuff he needs a medical attaché to regularly attend to his yeasty microbiome. 49.184.178.216 (talk) 21:48, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
