Toblerone April 26, 2008

Whenever I, my parents or family members (uncles, aunts etc) go abroad, we always bring a bar or two of Toblerone — a swiss chocolate. It is kind of a tradition in our family. I thought it was only in our family until I saw the episode of Friends, when Emily, Ross’es British girlfriend also brings a huge bar of Toblerone from London to New York. I was surprised… Why exactly Toblerone and not another chocolate? Then I checked Wikipedia and found this:

It is best known for its … ubiquity in airport duty-free shops.

So that’s probably why it is so popular among travellers.
