Toblerone Tiny


My wife has managed to find possibly the only thing that isn't bigger in the States. Ironically, as if to underline the "fact" that everything - from countries to cars - is smaller in the Old World, it's a European product.

Tiny Toblerone is a packet of what would in Europe be termed "bite-size" Toblerones, each barely an inch long, into which one must assume Swiss dwarves have managed to cram no fewer than three of the famous interlinked triangles. It tastes just like the real thing, but even if you wolf down the three triangles at once, it really is no more than an amuse-gueule that has you reaching for the next and the next and the next - or wishing you had a giant, good ol' American Hershey bar instead.
