You won't believe what a child found while eating a Toblerone bar!
- Replies 10
Toblerone is one of the most iconic chocolate bars. That unique triangular shape, that creamy milk chocolate taste... What's not to love?
It's no wonder this tasty Swiss treat has been around for over a century now — and the way things are going, it’s going to be around for a hundred years more!
But aside from its deliciousness, there's another reason why Toblerone is so popular. Can you guess what it is?
If you said 'the packaging', then you're absolutely correct!
For some reason, that eye-catching image of the Swiss mountains against a pale yellow background has always managed to stand out on supermarket shelves amid many packs of chocolates.
However, one young boy recently noticed something on the packaging that most people probably haven't seen before — and his discovery has sent shockwaves (the good kind!) across the internet.
A mum named Stephanie shared her 10-year-old son’s discovery on social media.
She said her son was having his first ever Toblerone when he suddenly asked her: ‘What’s the bear for?’
Understandably confused, she replied: ‘What bear?’
Her son then pointed to the mountain found on the left side of Toblerone bars, just beside the letter ‘T’.
And there, amazingly enough, was the outline of a bear in a standing position with its paws facing right.
You have to see it for yourself to believe it!
‘I was today years old when I found out there’s a bear in the Toblerone logo.’ she shared.
Stephanie and her son’s discovery garnered thousands of reactions from stunned people online — some of whom were even asking where the bear was!
‘Seventy-one years old, 50 Christmas Toblerones, and after a search of the package, I finally found the bear. Your son is brilliant!’ a man said.
‘Hidden in full view for 60 plus years for me,’ shared another.
‘I shall think of this for days,’ one man responded. ‘Mainly because I haven’t had a Toblerone for years, and now I want one.’
A quick look at Toblerone’s website reveals that they are upfront about the hidden bear in the logo.
‘See the bear?’ a question on the page asks. ‘Toblerone packages feature a bear on the side of the mountain.’ Neat!
Speaking of bears, another clue as to why a bear of all animals is on the logo is the origin of the renowned bars — Bern, Switzerland, which is also famous for its bears.
It also turns out that the name ‘Toblerone’ is a combination of founder Jean Tobler’s surname and the Italian word ‘Torrone’, which means honey and almond nougat.
And lastly, if you were ever thinking that Toblerone chocolates are shaped the way they are as a tribute to the mountains of Switzerland, then you’re wrong! (Don’t worry, we thought so too…)
The iconic pyramid shapes of Toblerones were inspired by dancers at the Folies Bergère in Paris who performed an acrobatic pyramid pose at the end of their shows.
If this story’s left you wanting more tidbits about Toblerones, fret not!
