Poll: Would you prefer a Toblerone or a Twix?

[Mad Doug Biker]

I never quite understood the point of Swiss chocolate.

You will in the roof of your mouth if you try and eat a large enough Toblerone the wrong way!!

Because you wouldn't want to arrive home after a trip abroad, and announce "look children, see what I brought you? It's a huge ........ Twix ."

This sounds like the voice of experience talking here!!

Twix, since you cant drink Tea through a toblerone

That has just given me quite a most bizarre mental image, thanks!

Toblerones are lovely, but the top of the chunk digs into your mouth .
Chocolate that hurts you?

I agree. I attempted to eat a toblerone once and ended up with a bruised and battered mouth. Steered well clear of them ever since.

 

[Hitchington]

I went for Toblerone. Twixes are a more 'everyday' confection, whereas Toblerones are for special occasions, like airports, or meeting Swiss people.

Or for driving to Dundee in bare feet...

Tolberone for me as long as its white Chocolate

I think if it was something more interesting than a twix there would be a clear winner. Maybe a cream egg. Or a Starbar.

 

[Hitchington]

Or even a massive Plopp

I've eaten many Toblerones <pats belly> and have never injured myself in the process.

How can you injure yourself with a bar of chocolate? Perhaps people are getting confused by trying to eat the other famous Swiss creations like cuckoo clocks and army knives

You get mini toblerones (one or two triangles in size I think) in one of those boxes of small versions of sweets (not sure which one, maybe "Heroes") - I only discovered this last year; they are very good. Much better size than proper size as it does not involve "wedging" yourself in the roof of your mouth when eating it!

Edit - here you go, they are 3 triangles: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toblerone-Mini-200g-Bag/dp/B00BP92X14

I would call a Twix a biscuit and have gone for Toblerone.

Twix has always annoyed me, as with the thread title everyone says "a twix" but there are two of them. Should it not be a pair of twixes?

If you have "a twix" then you are only getting one bar.

If you mum is feeling mean then you have a bar each with your sister and feel hard done by. Otherwise if you buy it yourself then you have to be a greedy pig and eat both bars. Somehow no one can save the second one for later.
So nothing but trauma and gluttony with a twix.

I used to love a Bounty, but I'm with JS on this, I can never quite forgive or forget when they removed the cardboard strip from the packaging.

 

[marknotgeorge]

Toblerone, but only if it's big enough to:

• Eat each segment (triangle? mountain? alp?) as if it were a chocolate bar in it's own right.
• Have large chunks of nougat so I can let the chocolate dissolve, then chew the nougat.

Failing that, I'll have a Whole Nut (or supermarket equivalent). Or plain chocolate digestives. Or dark Choco Leibnitz...

You can use it as a useful cookie holder.

They look suspiciously like oat cakes.
