Toblerone

3 mini bars of milk chocolate Toblerone, each weighing 35g and with 8 sections. Only eaten one so far - I want to make chocolate and kindness last 🙂

Interesting - only 8 sections. No LETTERS on the choc then 😉
 
The easiest way to find out is someone for research purposes buys a 400g bar then takes 1 triangle
weighs it then divides it by 100 then times it by the carb per 100g(60?). This will give you the carb content.
Example 20g /100 x 60 = 12 per triangle.

Then after all your hard work enjoy the end result. :D

Right that's it, I'm off to the shops to get a 400g Toblerone 😛

Well, actually I better not - we have enough chocolate in the house

I love toblerone but don't remember having one for ages now...might have to get one tomorrow now after all this talk! 😱 🙂

Letters are spaced equally on the chocolate below the triangles. I had to open packet to check, as couldn't feel letters through the wrapper. So will have chocolate with midday meal (and bring back happy memories of long dead great uncle Werner from Switzerland) 🙂

You're a star! 🙂 Enjoy your lunch.

Where was Werner from?

You never know it might be on special offer due to not being sold before Christmas. So it will taste even better if half price :D

If you do, let us know what's what please 🙂
 
Right, it's on my shopping list! 🙂 Hope I can find some dark chocolate ones 🙂

I have admit I don't know his home town, but his first language was German. He married my father's father's twin sister, but I think they met in UK and I think that's where they lived - they were lving in Uk by the time I was born. I inherited a Swiss souvenir cow bell, stamped "Merok 1932" (when he'd have been a teenager / young adult), but haven't been able to find Merok on any map of Switzerland - might be using incomplete electronic map or it might not even be a place in Switzerland or might be an organisation or something other than a place.

I've never heard of Merok either, but then that doesn't mean anything. I can't possibly know every single village 😉. I just googled it and nothing came up, not even as a surname....
 
Hi,

I've just been on the toblerone web site, went to the "contact us" top right hand corner
http://www.toblerone.co.uk/toblerone1/page?PagecRef=1
& have messaged them.....

"Hi,

I'm a type 1 diabetic on insulin having to do an insulin to carb ratio ie how much insulin to how many carbs i've eaten.

Please could you tell me how many carbs there are in 1 triangle of the 400g bar of the Toblerone Milk Chocolate.

Thank you.

Gill all you have to do is weigh the piece of food you want to eat and use the calculation I put in a previous post. It so simple to do. 🙂
 
Aww,
how could you now Alan has no excuse to go buy a big bar of choci :D

He still needs to go and buy one, as we want to know how many pieces there are!! :D
 
Thanks, Cherrypie - that could well be the place 🙂

I'd assumed it was in Switzerland, because it came from a Swiss relative, but they travelled a fair bit, yet I hadn't really looked at wider possibilities. And, not so far north of the place near Geilo where I spent a New Year 91/92 with fellow university nordic ski club members 🙂

And it being a cow bell only makes you believe it even more......
 
Opended a 400g Toblerone today - it has 15 pieces 🙂
