You've Been Eating Toblerone Wrong This Whole Time!
- Replies 9
But wait, this begs the question: is there any way to eat food “wrong?” I mean sure, if you see someone eating soup with a fork, you’d be staring at them in disbelief. Likewise, if you were to see someone using chopsticks for their pasta.
So, how would you feel if your long-awaited friend returned from a holiday (or a supermarket trip) with a large block of Toblerone as a gift to give to you? You take the block gratuitously and decide to open it to show your appreciation, but just as you’re about to break off the first triangle, your friend stops you: “Wait, you’re eating it wrong.”

This was the case for a famous TikTok influencer, Sidney Raz, when he posted a video showing his three million followers the “right” way to eat Toblerone. The video has received over three million five-hundred thousand views so far, with three-hundred thousand likes and over three-thousand comments!
In the video, Sydney starts off by saying, “Here’s something I didn’t know until I was in my 30s.” He then demonstrates the “right” way to eat Toblerone by “pinching it apart.”
We know that we’ve quite grown accustomed to the way we usually do it, by grabbing one of the triangles and pulling it back till it breaks off. Sydney, however, claims otherwise, by saying that instead of pulling in back, you need to position two of your fingers (your thumb and your index finger) on two of the triangles and pinch them together. They’ll break off easily!

People in the comments reacted with a variety of responses, some of them having been shocked by this new pinch (pun intended) of knowledge, while some of them having already known of this “right way to eat it.”
‘Darn, I need one now to practice what I’ve learned,’ one commenter said.
‘I’m originally from a country where Toblerones were really difficult to get growing up (India), and yet I still pinch them apart!’ another exclaimed.
Others, however, were skeptical about this “right” way to eat Toblerone, pointing out that it’d be inconsiderate if you were sharing the box.
‘But if you do that, you’ll leave a fingerprint on the second part, and that bothers me!’ one commenter said.
However, everyone agreed with the consensus that Toblerone tastes great, no matter what way you eat it.
‘The important part is eating it,’ said the commenter, which prompted several to agree.
