The Hidden Bear in Toblerone Chocolate's Logo

Alex

Neatorama reader Fosta sent this one in:

I was tucking into a toblerone today, and decided to have a look into the history of this unusual chocolate bar. Aside from a rather interesting history, (maybe Einstein handled the patent) I found that there is a secret bear hiding in the matterhorn logo. I've shown everyone in the office, and no-one has noticed it before. I love things like that!

Indeed, there it is and much easier to see than the FedEx arrow: http://fosta.typepad.com/sleepinginmyhead/2007/09/tobler-oh-yeah.html (with larger pic) - Thanks fosta!

I find it interesting that these days the "gangsta" is someone who can't wear a decent pair of pants without them falling down. I've seen plenty of "Cops" and I can't believe how they haven't yet figured out that belts are there for a purpose to keep ones pants up. Nothing like shuffling away from the "popo".

Yes, what we need are some classy gangsters sticking it to the Man again and not their own men because last time I checked, times were rough..real rough.

I've always found the fascination with criminals pretty fascinating.

Pirates seem to be the most recent incarnation of this little cultural obsession. It makes me wonder if we're going to be making blockbuster films about muggers in two hundred years' time.

John Dillinger is actually alive and (not so)well, he's was just in hiding. You all may have recently seen him in the news under the name Josef Fritzl.

I was reading the book Low Life about new york crime and it turns out that Capone can trace his gang affiliations back to the Five Pointerr, as seen in Gangs of New York.

I said the same thing to my wife, except in regards to romanticizing terrorists. Probably not though. At least not in the U.S. about Middle-Eastern ones. I'm sure there's a movie romanticizing the IRA somewhere.

My favorite was Jewish gangster Lepke Buchalter. When Dutch Schultz wanted to off DA Tom Dewey, Lepke voted "no" along with most of the mob. Later, when Dewey was Gov. of NY, he denied Lepke clemency and Lepke went to the chair.

the author calls bonnie and clyde "feel-good" gangsters - I just don't get that. I have to point out that I don't know much about them, but from what I've read, they enjoyed killing people, and did it for no particular reason. either way, they did kill people, with reason or without. people don't seem to take issue with that.

On my Italian side, I have a cousin (not really, but second and third cousins are still cousins in my family) who shot another cousin in an argument over borrowing a car. He didn't die and they managed to keep the police out of it, but still, not funny. Gang and mafia style life is praised far too much by Hollywood. It is NOT cool. Glorifying murderers doesn't help anyone. I love my heritage, but I would love it more if it were a tad less ... shady.

Not Another Jake: I'm Italian as hell and I've never seen anything like that.

However I must say it's probably good that the police stayed out of it as it was probably a drunken thing and not anything someone would want to see any sort of relative go to prison over. Hope you guys can work it out, keep it in the family!

My great great uncle was pretty boy floyd. My grandfathers name is Charles Floyd, it must have been passed down from generations. I have seen younger pictures of my grandfather and the resemblence is amazing. As a young kid my grandpa would say Pretty Boy Floyd and I looked alike. I am very excited to see the new movie and to be able to see parts of his life re-inacted. To be blood related to a infamous gang member is, well let me put it this way hes my hero.
sincerely
