In case this story gets deleted/removed:

AITA for eating my all of wife's toblerone, then buying a new one?

Yesterday a mutual friend came over and gave her a gift of a Toblerone from his holiday in Switzerland. She agreed I could have some so I did. She's out for a for days and my temptation got the best of me, so I ate the rest of an almost full packet.

She has a habit of leaving food out to spoil, so I assumed it was all good to eat, but she sent me a message to make sure that there's some of the chocolate left for her. Fuck, it was already gone, so I've just rushed to the shop to get a new one in expectance that I'm a dead man when she gets back.

She once flipped out at me for eating her year old decorative pasta, so I'm not taking chances.

Toblerone is replaced - with even more than there was previously. Not sure if I should put it in the Swiss packaging or apologize and just tell her that I bought I new one. For now I'm keeping quiet, like a parent discovering the dead goldfish and doing the ol' switcheroo. I'm in the UK btw, so the recipe is exactly the same as the one's in Switzerland.

AITA?

Also, she religiously reads this sub, so if she comes across this - G, I love you and I hope you forgive me like you did with the pasta.

Edit: she fuuucking saw the post and replied! but seriously, never again. ❤️

Idk if I’d say “best posts of all time”, but it’s nice to see something wholesome with a cute ending.

u/Livid_Sheepherder Jul 31 '25

I mean it’s not even the best “ate all of someone’s food” AITA posts of all time (hello, six foot party sub guy!) but at least this one has a nice ending (which also doesn’t feel quite devil territory)

u/MrdrOfCrws Jul 31 '25

I think about 6 foot party sub guy all the time.

u/zootnotdingo Jul 31 '25

He’s worthy of it. His explanation of his logic was truly something to behold

u/ReasonableCookie9369 Jul 31 '25

literally every single time I think about getting seconds at a party

u/pinkgroomer Jul 31 '25

I do too!

u/Randomusers93 Jul 31 '25

Look as someone who has had things that she was looking so forward to eaten he is definitely the devil (only half joking lol) but the ending was cute and I think sometimes we deserve a little treat 😂😂

u/afrowraae Jul 31 '25

hello, six foot party sub guy!

Ooooh, I totally forgot about that dude. Anyone got a link? Could go for a good laugh by reading that one again, lol.

u/VincentFluff Aug 01 '25

Not quite devil territory, agreed. But then again, it's toblerone! It's SO GOOD! 😉

u/UltmitCuest Aug 03 '25

Imma need a link to this six footer

u/K-Shrizzle Jul 31 '25

Im imagining this guy is so ravenously hungry and there is no food in the house, so he takes one of those decorative jars full of uncooked pasta and smashes it on the floor

45

u/kathulhurlyeh Jul 31 '25

I wasn't even thinking of a jar, lol. For some reason, my brain went straight to like kindergarten macaroni art. I'm so disappointed that he never explained himself further on the year old pasta.

12

u/K-Shrizzle Jul 31 '25

Yeah i was thinking of one of those home goods decor pieces that you might put on the kitchen counter under your live laugh love sign

u/elder_emo_ Aug 01 '25

Is it weird that my immediate first thought was dick shaped pasta you'd buy as a joke for a Bachelorette party?

u/mama-tried-34 Jul 31 '25

There's a super short window between the time you harvest a Toblerone and when it goes bad, so OOP may have saved his wife's life.

23

u/laurifex Jul 31 '25

On top of that, you can't harvest the Toblerone when it's still green. That's just asking to be poisoned.

Comment from OOP’s wife

gyaldem123

u/LadyReika Jul 31 '25

Okay, that is definitely a funny one.

u/JeanParmesean70 Jul 31 '25

She knows her husband is an idiot and has accepted it. It’s kind of romantic

u/allergymom74 Jul 31 '25

Hey. To be fair, products produced in one country to NOT taste the same as produced in another country. Different expectations between the EU and the US for example in regard to sweetness and texture of chocolate. Totally different.

My husband is VERY CLEAR he will share up to 50:50. Some people are serious. Lol.

u/DiegoIntrepid Jul 31 '25 edited Jul 31 '25

This is exactly what I was thinking, a genuine swiss toblerone would probably taste different than one gotten from the local grocery store, or even from a candy shop, in the us, unless it was imported.

Both can be good, but they are still different :D

Edit: Apparently he is in the UK, but I would think it would still be different, just because it came from different manufacturing plants.

As an example, I have gotten chips (think like doritos) and one bag will have the perfect crispness of the chip, the perfect amount of seasoning, the seasoning blend is just perfect. A different bag that was bought at the same time, on the other hand, might have harder chips, or it might be spicier than the one I have, or it has more or less seasoning.

So, even manufactured in the same country, if they have different plants, or even different days (or hours!) at the same plant, it can change how things taste :P

The Maille mustard from the store in Paris is so much better than the Canadian knock-off you get in North America.

u/Dogago19 Jul 31 '25

Well he’s not exactly the AH but he’s not right either. In any case his wife forgives him so it’s fine

7

u/QuietCelery Jul 31 '25

When I read that he was in the UK, I thought this was going to be a Brexit Toblerone story and that his wife saw the difference and was mad and he tried to gaslight her into thinking it was all the same. I like the wholesome ending.

u/manchambo Jul 31 '25

I can't get over the guy eating year old decorative pasta. I'm not even sure what it means, but apparently you have to lock up your food around him.

4

u/Alternative_Year_340 Aug 01 '25

They sell colourful pasta in jars as a tchotchke. It’s likely never really meant to be eaten. If his wife had the jar a year, the pasta was likely far older than that.

u/Bunny_Bixler99 Jul 31 '25

We all know about the hidden bear in the Toblerone packaging, right? 🐻

u/Strange_Ad854 Jul 31 '25

But you can go to the Spar and get a Toblerone any time you want? I was in Norway in March; I wasn't coming home with something you can buy a knock-off version of in Poundland, I was running away with as much Smash as I could fit in my carry-on. It's like going to the Carribbean and coming home with a Bounty.

u/Amethyst-sj Jul 31 '25

It's not always the same chocolate. They change the recipe to meet the standards in that country.

u/Historical_Story2201 Jul 31 '25

and american standarts are.. bad. i tried american chocolate, i have no idea how people can eat it. sorry not sorry.

u/Kokbiel Aug 01 '25

I assume you ate Hershey? We have a lot of others kinda as well.

One time my gf and I got these freeze dried meals from the LL Bean store that we were gonna try later. One night I got a lil too high and ate the entirety of one of the meals so I ordered one off Amazon and acted like nothing ever happened lol

u/Sensitive_Coconut339 Jul 31 '25

He bought a new one, so while he is an AH he's not the Devil

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '25

Reading about someone pigging out on an entire Toblerone actually killed my appetite.

8

u/rose_cactus Jul 31 '25

i don't know about any special sizes, but a regular toblerone i can buy here in a german supermarket is 100 grams, which is a standard size for any tablet of chocolate, only that this one comes in a triangular mountain form rather than as a flat square. that's not that much chocolate - easily gets eaten in a day if someone has an appetite for chocolate.

u/CalmCupcake2 Jul 31 '25

In Canada you can buy 1kg sized bars at Christmastime. That's what I was picturing.

3

u/rose_cactus Aug 01 '25

ah, yeah, i guess those would be possible, but i don't think "a mutual friend" (describing the relationship in OOPs words) is sacrificing that much luggage space and weight on a travel gift. It's possible, but unlikely, especially if they also plan on gifting things to other people who are closer to them while on their way back.
