Snapping Toblerone's triangle-shaped bar can be a messy and tricky process, but a woman shows everyone how it's perfectly done with a video.
Kaitlin Moore shared her foolproof Toblerone snapping method on Youtube, which has been viewed by almost two million users. Instead of snapping the triangle pieces away from the bar, she actually pushes it inwards with ease and perfection and using just the force of one finger. It breaks perfectly and there is no mess.
Watch how she does it:
Several of the commenters on the video commended Moore for her methods, with some admitting that they were put off buying Toblerone because of its shape, according to New Zealand Herald. Instead of ending up with perfectly shaped pieces, many had to contend with uneven chunks when eating the chocolate. Some even admitted to breaking the bars with their teeth, thus causing tooth damage. One joked that he's been using a chainsaw to separate the pieces, according to The Sun.
Toblerone's unusual shape for a chocolate bar was inspired by the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps where its creator, Theodor Tobler resided, according to Toblerone. However, the site also cited that Tobler's son believes their father came up with the idea for the shape after watching dancers at Folies Bergères in Paris, who ended their show by forming pyramids.
Toblerone was invented in 1908 and it hasn't changed its shape since.
