Did you know...

-The first Toblerone chocolate bar was created in at a confectionary store called Fabrique de Chocolat Berne, Tobler & Cie. by Jean Tobler with his son and Emil Baumann in 1908.
-Toblerone came from Jean Tobler's last name Tobler and the Italian word torrone which means nougat.
-The Toblerone brand and shape received a trademark in 1909 from the Federal Institute for Intellectual Property in Bern. This means that no-one else can produce triangular chocolates.
-The triangular shape of the Toblerone represents the Matterhorn in Switzerland. This is why in some parts of the world each chunk is referred to as an 'Alp'.
-The number of Toblerone's produced daily would stretch over a distance of 283 km when laid end to end.
-The number of peaks per Toblerone increases according to the size. For example, the minis have just three peaks, the 35g bars nine peaks and the 100g 12 peaks.
-Sold in 110 countries around the world, latest figures show that the top three consumers of Toblerone are the Swiss followed by the British and Australians.
-The Toblerone Matterhorn logo also conceals the figure of a bear. The bear is the emblem of the town of Berne where the factory was located.
-In Season 14, Episode 18 of the Emmy Award Winning series The Simpsons titled 'Dude, Where's My Ranch?', an out of control beaver is seen gnawing on a bar of Toblerone.
