Toblerone is american? Wtf?
Toblerone is owned by US-based Kraft but only produced in the EU, similar to how Ben and Jerry's ice cream is made in the US but is owned by the London-based Unilever. With international conglomerates, national lines are very blurred
They had a balsy take a while back.
Yeah, they bought a lot of European chocolate brands, like Milka, Côte d'Or, Toblerone, Cadbury, Green & Black's, Freia and Marabou.
