Toblerones were invented in 1908 by Swiss chocolatier Theodor Tobler, who came up with the idea of filling creamy chocolates with crunchy Italian torrone (honey and nut nougat)

may not be the most famous chocolate brand in the world, but it's arguably the most iconic -- especially when it comes to travel.

In an increasingly connected world, where Coke cans and iPhones are as omnipresent in Malaysia as they are in Manhattan, opening up a Toblerone still manages to feel like an experience you can't quite replicate at home."[Toblerone] represents travel," says Marianne Klimchuk, chair of the Packaging Design department at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology."The type style is like a vintage luggage label. It has authenticity and European cultural heritage.

"It was something I associated with being a child, and that exclusivity of only getting it at the airport," he explains."Purchasing a Toblerone was very special for me. My friends' families would go on vacation and they brought back this chic, European, long triangle-shaped chocolate. I never saw [Toblerones] at a grocery store. I thought you could only get it at the airport or when you were traveling and part of the jet set.
