It seems chocolate enthusiasts may have been savouring their Toblerone bars incorrectly all this time – there’s actually a specific method for eating the triangular Swiss chocolate treat. The brightly red and yellow packaged, iconic chocolate brand has graced shelves since 1908 and continues to be a worldwide favourite. These much-loved bars are often enjoyed as a luxurious indulgence during festive seasons like Christmas or as a coveted purchase from Duty-Free shops whilst travelling. Despite years of relishing in this chocolatey pleasure, it turns out many haven’t mastered the art of detaching the individual pieces. You’ve likely been attempting to snap them off by pulling outward, or maybe you’ve tried biting directly into the bar hoping it would separate. Given the solidity of these segments, breaking them requires considerable effort. Yet, an effortless technique exists to part them with ease. A recent revelation by a food enthusiast demonstrates the proper way to nab a chunk of the chocolate. In a social media video, the dad provides an up-close look at a Toblerone bar and explains: “So apparently this is how you’re supposed to break your Toblerone.” The video showcases him easily snapping off a single piece by pressing together the apexes of two adjacent triangles with his thumb and forefinger. Contrary to instinctively pulling the pieces apart, the trick is to push them inward. And just like that, within moments, you’re rewarded with your chocolate segment. Viewers were quick to react to the tip, as one astonished person commented: “There’s no way I’m only finding this out now I usually put my whole mouth around it and everything.” Another concurred, saying: “I just shove it in my mouth and risk the roof of my mouth being scraped.” Another chimed in: “The amount of times I nearly broke my teeth and this was how you do it.” One person confessed: “I feel so dumb for doing it the hard way all my life.” Yet, some were bemused at how this was not common knowledge already. “How does nobody know this? ,” one user questioned. Another said: “I’ve always pushed them like this and thought it was common knowledge.” A third echoed the sentiment: “I thought this was common knowledge.” On the other hand, after Chef Koudy, a popular figure on TikTok, shared the tip, several individuals expressed their preference for the more challenging method. “Second is better because you’re not touching the piece next to it,” one commenter reasoned. Another stated: “Second one is better, at least he did not touch the other bar with his fingers.”
