Not necessarily, says Cousins, who believes it could simply be a case of “feeding the cash cow,” because “If you don’t feed them they die.” The bear silhouette symbolizes the city of Bern, where the creator of Toblerone produced his first chocolate bar with milk and nougat. The bear is also depicted on the town’s coat of arms and is its national symbol. Toblerone has become one of Switzerland’s most prominent exports. Nine out of ten of the bars head abroad and while its status as an iconic brand is not in doubt, future sales in the UK are much less certain.

Yet if the new variant receives no support at launch, it will continue what some marketers describe as a pattern of under investment in one of the company’s most prestigious brands. The Tobler company was independent for many years. In 1970, it merged with Suchard, the makers of Milka, to become Interfood. After the Tobler & Suchard merger it was decided to create a new and single source for marketing & exporting the various products manufactured by both companies worldwide, Multifood. Max E. Baumann, the son of Emil Baumann, was made director of this new division. Tobler & Suchard companies merged with the Jacobs coffee company in 1982 to create Jacobs Tobler & Suchard. Kraft Foods Inc acquired the majority of Jacobs Suchard, including Toblerone, in 1990; in 2012, it was spun off (alongside several other brands) to Mondelēz. things you probably didn't know about the Toblerone chocolate bar".

The base, which didn’t go all the way to the edge, was sponge rather than biscuit and tasted boozy to me, like the bottom of a tiramisu (and in fact La’De Kitchen also sell a tiramisu, so maybe they share a component).
