 Dan thanks for the always entertaining storytelling! Refreshing!! And we love the footage of riding in the Val de Bagnes and the Valais region of Switzerland, one of our favorite places to ride mountain bikes on the planet. Chocolate and singletrack...yes!

 I can partially confirm: Toblerone is massively exported, probably the most exported Swiss chocolate, but surely not the most consumed in Switzerland. Indeed it's not that cheap in here and surely it's not considered as top quality chocolate!

 Col de Mille is French not German Mr. Miller. Switzerland is a quadrilingual country: German, French, Italian and English.
Having said all that, thank you for another banging vid!

 Well the official languages are German, French, Italian and Rumantsch (Rhaeto-Romanic). However, I'm impressed that you know that Switzerland is quadrilingual and pretty much everyone speaks English anyways. Great vid!

 ha ha, and my name is not Mr Miller. Anyhow, my translation was just a joke (suggesting that it was in fact German at all!).. it's kind of a weird British humour, pretending we don't speak any other language but act like we do. :-) Of course I know what Col de Mille means: "hurting big climb and uber-duper banging' descent".

 I thought Fosters larger was brewed in Manchester, England dude. Pretty sure it's just an Australian brand....I may be wrong though.

 Toblerone is owned by Philip Morris a huge tobacco producer,BAD!!
  • 4 1
 ah, wow @rideonjon I didn't know that. Damn. I feel soiled. The funny thing is that all the way through the film I "eat" it and set up these scenes with me starting to get more sick (I didnt actually eat much of it.. that would be silly).. and the original ending I filmed was me throwing up post ride which made me laugh a lot, but which I replaced as I thought it might be seen as too immature (not that that has stopped me before). But that might have been a suitable ending for it now I know the Toblerone background. Maybe I'll post it as an alternative ending clip eh?

 sounds like an appropriate ending in my books,great vid by the way.

 What you need to do is chain smoke Philip Morris cigarettes during your ride videos for some great "product placement". Then Toblerone will sponsor you.

 Was Ludo so far off the back because he was chain smoking the kick back he got from Phillip Morris?
We must all ride to Switzerland and free the Tobleerone Mine Gnome from his tedious jpb...

 Since we are on the topic of Toblerone, can someone from Switzerland answer a question for me?
Is Toblerone an inexpensive, mass produced export the way Budweiser is for America and Fosters is for Australia?
  • 1 0
 I thought Fosters larger was brewed in Manchester, England dude. Pretty sure Fosters is an Australian brand and not an Australian larger....I could be wrong though.

 Damned misleading advertising. It is brewed in England. My original question still stands.
  • 1 0
 it's actually hard to find Fosters in Oz but you can buy it. Many beer brands are produced under licence in different countries though. E.g. here in Oz we have locally brewed Heineken and Stella and a few other international beers

 to clarify: Toblerone was founded by Mr. Tobler (hence the name) in Bern and was later taken over by Mondelez International I think (among others they own also Oreo btw). So it actually used to be a rather fancy, Swiss made product but it became a mass product for international sales a long time ago. Further, the mountain the chocolate is shaped after and the guys in the video are looking for is the famous Matterhorn. The Matterhorn is located in Zermatt and actually is not far away from the spot in the video, there are also some pretty neat trails including a demanding downhill trail that can be accessed by an underground train.

 Toblerone used to be decent quality chocolate. Now its just a watereddown overpriced massproduct unfit for consumption.

 All I know of the above, is that Toblerone does actually make me feel sick when I try to eat it, and yes the picture on its packet is the Matterhorn, and yes Zermatt has some amazing riding there. 'Nuff said.
