'Correct' way to eat a Toblerone leaves chocolate lovers floored
A chocolate fan has blown people's minds after revealing the correct way to eat the pyramidal Swiss chocolate bar after people have spent years trying to break the pieces apart with their teeth
It seems connoisseurs of chocolate have been savouring their Toblerone bars incorrectly - but fear not, for there's an approved method to munching on the pyramid-shaped Swiss delight. The prominent chocolate brand, adorned with vibrant red and yellow branding, has sweetened the world since 1908, and remains a global favourite. Many indulge in the treat during special moments such as Christmas or snag one from Duty Free while jet-setting.
Even after decades of relishing in this chocolate luxury, it appears a great number of us are still unaware of the right technique to detach the delectable segments. Chances are you've been wrenching the pieces outwards or gnawing at the bar, hoping for a break.
Given the firmness of the segments, this can require quite a bit of strength. Yet, there's an effortless method that makes separating them a piece of cake.
A culinary enthusiast has uncovered the optimal strategy to claim a segment. Sharing his revelation on social media, the father gave his audience a detailed peek at a Toblerone bar and disclosed: "So apparently this is how you're supposed to break your Toblerone."
The demonstration showed him effortlessly snapping off a single piece by pinching two triangle tips together with his thumb and forefinger. Instead of yanking the pieces apart, the trick is to press them inward. In a blink, you're blessed with your chocolate chunk.
The comments section brimmed with astonishment, including one bewildered person who exclaimed: "There's no way I'm only finding this out now I usually put my whole mouth around it and everything."
Another concurred and remarked: "I just shove it in my mouth and risk the roof of my mouth being scraped." An additional person contributed: "The amount of times I nearly broke my teeth and this was how you do it."
Meanwhile, another individual confessed: "I feel so dumb for doing it the hard way all my life." Yet, some were baffled that this wasn't common sense.
"How does nobody know this? ," one questioned. While another asserted: "I've always pushed them like this and thought it was common knowledge."
A third chimed in with agreement: "I thought this was common knowledge." Nonetheless, when the widely followed Chef Koudy revealed the trick on his TikTok, many admitted they'd rather stick to their laborious methods.
"Second is better because you're not touching the piece next to it," one user opined. Another penned: "Second one is better, at least he did not touch the other bar with his fingers."

‘Send him to JAIL' rant Love Island stars after villa boy's blazing row with ex
LOVE Island stars were left fuming after a villa boy's blazing row with his ex and ranted "Send him to jail". The show's producers posted a clip on social media of what could be one of the most hard-to-watch arguments in Love Island history. 4 Love Island stars were left fuming after a villa boy's blazing row with his ex and ranted "Send him to jail" Credit: Eroteme 4 Ben blamed Yasmin for choosing him in the last recoupling Credit: Eroteme 4 Yasmin could not believe what she was hearing from Ben Credit: Eroteme In last night's episode of Love Island, Yasmin Pettet, 24, had a blazing row with Ben Holbrough, 23 after he had said he was going to end things with her. He blamed her for choosing him in the last recoupling, to which she replied: "Who else would I have chosen at the end of the day?" Ben responded: "I haven't ever really been feeling you to be fair." A shocked Yasmin sarcastically snapped back: "Okay, I'm glad you're honest about that now. That's really helpful." The argument then escalated and Ben nastily said: "You're lucky Shea even picked you. To be fair, I think you're lucky you're even in here now to be fair. "No one rated you when you were in here let's say. You've only come out your shell because you're in a couple with me." Finally, Yasmin snapped: "You're so immature," and Ben remarked that, "no man wants you in here." After watching the clip on Instagram, which was captioned: "I want to be the level of unbothered that Yasmin is" - viewers took to the comments section to slam Ben in droves. Speaking of Ben's behaviour, Love Island star Patsy Field said: "Is Jail time an option?" Love Islander Alex Bowen added: "What a child!"

"Bet his parents are proud of him tonight. Such a little boy. Shows how much he respects women," said another. "Everyone vote Yas for favourite girl I must see bens face," said The Traitors star Freddie Fraser. "YASMIN WE GOT YOU GIRL!" wrote TikTok sensation Lauren Ashley Saddington. And last year's Casa Amor bombshell Ellie Jackson stated: "I love this woman so much!" Last night, the public were asked to choose their favourite boy and favourite girl - the results will be shown tonight. While The Sun is not naming the duo to preserve the surprise, fans will be rocked by the departures. 4 The argument was one of the worse in the show's history Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video?

CMAT at Glastonbury review – a preposterously fun pop star who'll surely be massive
CMAT runs on to the Pyramid stage, immediately pretends to faint, then delivers the first verse of her opening song lying face down. It's an intriguing beginning to the kind of Glastonbury set that captures an artist at what seems to be a tipping point of their career, that carries with it the distinct sense that they may be on the verge of becoming absolutely huge. The crowd she draws is vast and they respond to the handful of tracks already released from her forthcoming third album Euro-Country as if they're her greatest hits. The celebrity-endorsed TikTok dance craze spawned by recent single Take a Sexy Picture of Me has clearly had some role to play in boosting her popularity – its arrival mid-set prompts a spontaneous crowd sing along; someone in the audience is so excited they let a smoke flare off midway through; the big screens reveal that even a security guard standing by the loos at the side of the stage is pumping his fist – but it can't account for the rapturous reaction afforded her entire set. What does is that CMAT is a fantastic pop star. It's not merely that she's smart, funny, gobbily outspoken, and looks fantastic – today she's clad in huge earrings in the shape of the euro symboland blue plastic dress that she removes to reveal a matching blue leotard, while mocking the fat-shaming comments posted about her on social media. It's not just that she is blessed with both a potent, octave-leaping voice and a surfeit of superb, hook-laden songs that split the difference between country mid-70s Fleetwood Mac and come equipped with sharp, witty lyrics. It's that she's a quite spectacularly brilliant live performer. She alternates between stage moves that very much hail from the Dance Like No One's Watching school of abandon, and choreographed routines with her band members: at the climax of one, she rips off her male band members' skirts in a manner reminiscent of Bucks Fizz's famous Eurovision moment. She announces herself as possessed of 'middle child syndrome, an amazing arse and the best Irish country rock'n'roll band in the world' and beckons for applause whenever she mentions her own name – when the crowd start chanting her name of their own accord, she responds by bending over and wiggling her bum at them. When she successfully encourages the audience to engage in synchronised dance moves to I Wanna Be a Cowboy, Baby!, she looks quite startled at what a crowd this size enthusiastically dancing in unison looks like. It's all incredibly engaging and preposterously good fun, and it reaches a climax with Stay for Something She runs to the barrier at the front stage, climbs on top of it, hugs a fan, strikes a series of coquettish poses, then – to the visible horror of the security guard accompanying her – motions for the crowd to part, runs into their centre and delivers the final chorus in the middle of the audience. Back on stage, she leads a chant of 'free Palestine' and she's gone – it really doesn't seem inconceivable that she could be headlining the next time she returns.

‘90s are back' shoppers cry as they race to bag ‘unreal' summer top in Primark – it's only £10 & comes in three colours
FASHION fans are going wild for an "unreal" summer top in Primark - and it's super purse-friendly. So if you want to give your wardrobe an upgrade in time for warmer days, then you've come to the right place and won't want to miss this. The Bow Detail Peplum Top is priced at just £10 and comes in sizes XS to XL. It comes in three colours - lemon, baby pink or white - and features pretty bow details and a keyhole front. And fashion fans have insisted the peplum silhouette is giving 90s vibes. Describing the new arrivals on the website, the Primark team say: "When sunshine calls, this top answers with all the right details. "Designed in a soft shade, it's sleeveless for easy layering. The fitted bodice flows into a gentle peplum hem with a V-split at the front, adding shape without the fuss. "A keyhole cut out down the centre is finished with bow details for a sweet twist." The top can be dressed up or dressed down for a variety of occasions, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. While it will look perfect paired with jeans and trainers for a casual look, it can also be dressed up with a satin midi skirt and sandals for summer days. After spotting it in her local store, fashion fan Amy gushed on TikTok: "Run to Primark for these gorgeous bow tops. Only £10." Her video quickly racked up more than two million views, 200,000 likes and 370 comments with shoppers desperate to get their hands on it. Shoppers run to Primark for new summer tracksuit hailed 'perfect airport outfit' "A Primark trip is needed asap", one cried. A second wrote: "90s are back only difference this would've been cotton." A third claimed: "Exact same as the Zara [one]." "Zara dupeeeee", echoed a fourth. A fifth added: "These are gorgeous. I love the pink and yellow." Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Oh my gosh I want every colour!!" Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that's floaty and great quality - and there's a mini-me version too. Amanda, the self-proclaimed "confidence queen' and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that's super floaty and cool. She modelled the sleeveless V-neck Trapeze Mini Dress, that's ideal for holidays. Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: 'This one might just win me over girls, because there's a mini-me. 'The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It's lovely and floaty and oversized.' The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
