Between those three pages, who actually owns and makes Toblerone and what should it say on the page? I'll post this on Krafts page as well because its probably more travelled.

Swiss Chalet

Swiss Chalet content was added by User:Auric The Rad, a Canadian. Changed "North America" to "Canada". Most people in the United States have never heard of Swiss Chalet, but many are familiar with Toblerone. According to their website, they only have three restaurants in the states, all in New York. --Viriditas | Talk 02:18, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Patent, Trademark and Einstein

The pdf patent offered doesn't have Einstein's name on it. THe toberone.com it comes from says: "The TOBLERONE brand is registered with the Federal Institute for Intellectual Property in Bern, and shortly thereafter TOBLERONE becomes the first patented milk chocolate with almonds and honey. The physicist Albert Einstein, barely thirty years old, is employed at the Institute. A few years later, he will become famous for his theory of relativity." It doesn't say Einstein approved it. Therefore, probably not true. Besides his specialty was electromechanical devives. GangofOne 07:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few thoughts on this:

1. Toblerone has some problems with present/past tense.

2. The person who today (19Feb07) changed patented to trademarked probably is wrong because it says earlier in the article (as well as the quote above) that the machinery and process were patented. So I'm going to revert it, but will let others sink their teeth into this more deeply. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Bellagio99 23:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos

A damn fine chocolate bar, I must say. -71.49.163.77 03:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC).[reply]

For a mid-priced commercial bar yes. But have you tried Leonidas (Belgian) or Stubbe (Ottawa-Toronto)? Bellagio99 23:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No of peaks

I must dispute the number of peaks in the 35g bar.

I bought a multipack of 4 in the UK today and it certainly only had 8 peaks. :)

Wonder if it differs between countries? This was a yellow standard one btw :)

Could it be that the UK is being diddled of a Toblerone peak? Or, if the weight is the same, does this mean that Toblerone peaks in the UK are larger than those abroad? Given that Toblerone is from Switzerland, there must be an official document that outlines all the dimensional standards of a bar, with angles and volume etc. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, there is also a single peak version (in a foil wrapper) which seems to be given out in hotels and such like. I don't know about the official documentation of toblerones though. I doubt the Swiss would go that far. Qualalol (talk) 13:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Piccy

On a more serious note, the photograph in the article is very good; and perhaps because of this it seems to have been nicked by these people here. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
