That's quite the offer, considering that half of your ssss internet friends live half a planet away.

Frey Cailler Lindt Ragusa

Toby Lerone though.

I'm used to internet friends living half a planet away... the work doesn't change for me, it's just them who have to wait longer for the chocolate ;)

Toblerone is kiiiiiinda... idk, I know it's the known Swiss chocolate but to me, it's usually too sweet in a boring way (and I tend to suddenly develop 2 left hands the moment I have to break off a piece) and since you can find Toblerone pretty much everywhere in the world, it's not as fun as sending our "local specialities". Also, it's not as easy to send by mail as a flat plate ;)
But if someone is having Toblerone-withdrawal symptoms, I'll send some, no problem.

I guess that's why it's popular though ... I mean, you can often get Lindt too, at least at major international airports. Toblerone is both cheap and decent though. I haven't tried any other Swiss chocolates so I can't argue that one is better than the other. By the way, the best way to break a Toblerone is to hold it upright and push down on its apex. Or you could pummel a ledge or something with the bottom-side. Both works.

Lindt is very common here. You can find it by the cashier at many kinds of stores. There's also a Lindt store not too far away from me. That said, I'm kinda meeeeh about Lindt chocolates, but that is because I prefer dark to milk.

Yeah, it is cheap, especially abroad, and I wouldn't call it bad chocolate, just boringly sweet... Maybe I've just had Toblerone too often to consider it anything special xD
And I've seen Lindt being sold in surprising places, as far as Finland and Ireland in bigger supermarkets in the cities and my friend in Canada gets it as well ^^

Or I can just use it as a weapon and emergency food in case the trolls arrive, works too ;)
It's not like I don't know how to break Toblerone, I just become extra clumsy while doing so

=3=b
Really? Lindt is actually the brand I tend to go for when I want dark chocolate (the one with sea salt or caramel and sea salt <3) Maybe you don't have the dark chocolate varieties?

They make these little round extra dark little chocolates and those are soooooo good. The wrapper is usually black.

LINDOR BALLS~ Yeah, we have them too and we've got them in like a hundred flavours... orange, caramel, milk, extra milk, coffee, white, coconut, hazelnut, and limited editions like white+strawberry, white+lime, almond and probably more to come...
We have them in "pick and mix", where you just choose from an array like you'd choose vegetables, or in boxes. Sadly, on the slightly expensive side the moment you grab more than 2 :P

... I should stop now or else I'll never shut up about chocolate...

Yes! If I remember correctly, milk chocolate is red, white chocolate is yellow, dark chocolate is blue, and extra dark is black. I know there are a ton of other flavors, but those are the ones I can reliably find in stores near me.

Aaaaand now I want chocolate. :P

Nah, despite being a bit expensive, Lindt is available in a lot of countries; we even have little Lindt shop here. And it's on my way home... hmmmm...

Aaah, I'm thinking of the little Lindor balls. Those are meh. I just looked up the chocolate bars and those are quite tasty. I had forgotten which brand those were. I have to look for them in the more gourmet chocolate selection at the grocery store. :D
