Toblerone (; German: (:tobləˈroːnə)) is a Swiss chocolate bar brand 〔(Brand family. ) Mondeléz International. Retrieved 25 August 2015.〕 owned by US confectionary company Mondelēz International, Inc., formerly Kraft Foods, which acquired the product from former owner Jacobs Suchard in 1990. It is produced in Bern and in early 2000 was being produced in the United States by Ferrara Pan candy company in Bellwood, Illinois. Toblerone is well known for its distinctive prism shape: a triangular prism or pentahedron. ==History== Toblerone was created by Theodor Tobler (1876–1941) in Bern, Switzerland in 1908. Theodor Tobler, with his cousin Emil Baumann, developed a unique milk chocolate including nougat, almonds and honey with a distinctive triangular shape. The image of a bear is hidden in the Matterhorn high mountain, symbolizing the town of the chocolate's origin. The triangular shape of the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps is commonly believed to have given Theodor Tobler his inspiration for the shape of Toblerone. However, according to Theodor's sons, the triangular shape originates from a pyramid shape that dancers at the Folies Bergères created as the finale of a show that Theodor saw. Some early advertisements for Tobler chocolate appeared in the international languages Esperanto〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tobler (fama pro Toblerone) estis Esperantisto.Tobler (famous for Toblerone...) )〕 and Ido.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home )〕 Theodor Tobler applied for a patent for the Toblerone manufacturing process in Bern in 1909.〔 The Toblerone brand was trademarked in 1909, at the Federal Institute for Intellectual Property in Bern. The Tobler company was independent for many years. In 1970, it merged with Suchard, the makers of Milka, to become Interfood. Tobler company merged with the Jacobs coffee company in 1982 to create Jacobs Suchard. Mondelēz (Kraft Foods at that time) acquired the majority of Jacobs Suchard, including Toblerone, in 1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toblerone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
