To be frank even that very low buying price together with the 6 billion CHF that UBS asked from the Swiss government as a warranty is not enough to cover for the almost unlimited amount of money they may lose in Credit Suisse related US cla

I agree that Toblerone is candy. This also explains why it's hard to find good Swiss or Belgian (e.g. Leonidas) chocolate that matches the 62% sugar content of Toblerone.

Toblerone has 62% of sugar, I'd personally consider anything beyond 55% of sugar as cheap chocolate. Also 28% of cocoa is definitely on the lower end, I expect quality chocolate to be at 30% of cocoa.

As an addendum, even Satan himself (Nestlé) manages to produce a non-cheap Milk chocolate with a whopping 8.8% of protein and 31% of cocoa solid: https://cailler.ch/en/webshop/cailler-milk-100g

Cocoa powder and milk powder (or more rarely condensed milk) are expensive and contribute to taste and / or texture. To make cheaper chocolate you increase sugar to save on cocoa (there's a hard lower limit of cocoa content howeve

Agreed, a good nougat also has more than 5.6% of protein. Nuts in general rather rise protein content of chocolate.

Toblerone Milk as it can be bought here has only 5.6 gramms of protein per 100 gramms. A good milk chocolade should have at least 7 gramms of protein per 100 gramms (aim for 8 gramms if possible). So Mondelez cashes in on the brand name and

For me switching jobs always was two steps ahead and maybe one back. My first full time job had subpar pay and benefits but allowed me to take over a lot of responsibility. After 2 years I switched jobs (thanks to a friend) to get a better

I never regretted quitting a job. There always was a good reason to switch. If you are unsure if its worth to stay, do some interviews. I recently did 3 interviews and found out that my current job was better than the offered positions.

The difference between deli cuts and ground meat is that many deli cuts contain food additives, mainly phosphates and curing agents, which aren't particularly good for one's health. Especially nitrite based curing salts are suspec

If you hire a fantastic human who produces absymal code, it's a mishire IMO. So code quality must be good, and personality must be "good enough" to not jeopardize teamwork.
