We need three judges to decide if Toblerone can proceed with this reduction. One must be openly gay to annoy the Daily Fail.

Exactly! This is typical of Mondelez (Kraft) ruining traditional chocolates in the name of profits - Its the same with the rounded dairy-milk bars, sneakily reducing the amount of chocolate while maintaining the original package size and of course price!

I've boycotted all Kraft/Mondelez products since they ruined Cadbury and that now includes Heinz who are in partnership with Kraft! Its actually quite freigtening how many brands I used to buy that are owned by Kraft and I had no idea!

And what happened to those enormous Mars Bars that appeared and then disappeared just as I'd figured out how to eat a whole one in a single sitting? I suspect the anti-sugar brigade were behind that; now I'm reduced to eating three Bounties instead

Reducing the size of a chocolate bar to save consumer health doesnt work because if one can't have a big bar, one would buy two instead; by a hook or a crook! One msy even become a chocoholic because he is being deprived of it with a smaller chocolate bar on offer, and become ill with his chocoholism much sooner than expected.

Same as alcohol.

Bounty is very nice for occasional guilty pleasure. You can get a cheaper version in Aldi. Almost identical taste and it causes less holes in your pocket.

Must just be me who blooming loves Toblerone!

Anyone who get's one who hates them,please forward on.

Agreed re strange spaces now though.However they were always a killer to try and snap a piece off with the shorter gap....maybe that's why they have done it??

I put Toblerone in the same category as baylis & harding gift sets. only given as thoughtless xmas presents to be left in a drawer somewhere then recycled when you remember you forgot to get a present for some distant relative you never see very often. In that respect they,re very handy.

Pop quiz. What's notable/interesting about the Toblerone posterised mountain logo device (as can be clearly seen in the photo in the first post)?

The first person to correctly answer wins......





......nowt.

Could well be. But not the answer.

Next...

I see a large bear standing; taking a step toward the lettering. Bear has a headdress, as well as a back dress on; perhaps a bear bride. They're jungle animals hence no concept for frontal decency.

I also see a female human with a head gear; looking down. Perhaps it's the latent being of the bear bride that the bear bride is unconsciously moving towards; by getting formally married - like humans do. Or, perhaps that female human is just grateful to the bear bride for letting her eat a Toblerone on her wedding. Or, the female human is presenting the Toblerone bar to the bride; as a gift on her wedding. They're both criminal for advertising this disastrous edible for anyone's health- may it be a bear or a human. Especially in Britain, where almost 1 in 2 loses teeth early in their life, and 1 in 3 has braces to get their crooked teeth aligned. Not to mention other decaying diseases caused by sugar- to the rest of the body.

- Well done, TH. A (slightly effeminate lol) bear.

But the 'headdress' and 'skirt', no. (They're just part of the highlights of the mountain).


- dpb, you should have posted immediately after your first guess. Then, you would've 'won', man!

Thank you, Joz. I'm honoured.

Well we already know that's it's a bleddy mountain with some highlights, Joz! It's more creative to divorce yourself from what you see at first, and look for something what's not so obvious. That's why, for me, the obvious highlights become the female bear's dresses. I provide an enhanced picture of a picture.

Duncan didn't see it at first place. He saw it after reading my post. I wouldn't trust him.

Yeah, yeah, whatever! Noticing a mountain as a mountain (Matterhorn), when someone asks you to notice something (otherwise) interesting about it, is like Brexit means Brexit. Very simplistic, I know.
