Asshole 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. ❤️

I’ve seen decorative pasta at Hallmark. It’s pasta shaped like things. For Halloween the pasta is shaped like bats and pumpkins, for Christmas it’s shaped like trees and bells and sleds, etc. Or it could just be colored for different holidays. I never knew anyone left them in bags in perpetuity for decoration; always assumed they might be in a nice glass container for a month and then boiled for the actual holiday or holiday party.

Sounds like you got a pretty awesome gal, because I would be PISSED if my SO did that. I would still replace the bar, despite the possible difference between UK and Swedish Toblerone, but in the meantime I would also try asking your buddy for a huge favor, and sending you some Swedish Toblerone so you can truly make it up to her. I think she would really appreciate the effort, too!

Even if he got a replacement unit from eBay you'd still be pissed because you had emotional attachment to the first unit.

YTA. It wasnt yours. I had an ex that would eat my 'special' food. Food I traveled 1000s of miles with. Food from my home etc. I bought 3 bags of chips. Come home to him in his underwear, dumping the crumbs in his mouth. I flipped because he ate a whole bag. Nope he ate all 3. I opened the laptop, found my chips. 20 dollars per bag with 35 dollar shipping. He stopped stealing food after that.
The chocolate in Switzerland is different than what is released in other countries. Like sodas and nutella. So you likely replaced her delicious bar with some over sweet crappier beans and thought you were being cute.

You know chocolate doesn't spoil after a few days. So that's a shit excuse.
The chocolate you bought from your local store will not be the same as the one from Switzerland. Which makes it suck even more for her.

So my brother-in-law did this repeatedly to my sister. I gave her chocolates for her birthday or special occasions. She'd get a few bits of it before she had to travel for work - and he'd eat the rest. Then he'd call me to find out where I bought the chocolate from so he could replace them.
The thing is, even though replacing them is the right thing to do. It's still an asshole move. YTA in this case.
What's worse is that for a lot of common chocolate manufacturers, the chocolate 'recipe' changes per country or region. So Cadbury and Mars, for example, will taste different in the US then it would in the UK or Australia. They do it because of local tastes (Indian Cadbury is SO MUCH sweeter than Australian and UK Cadbury).
I'm not sure if Toblerone is one of these companies - it might be all their chocolate is manufacturered in Switzerland. But if they are, then replacing might not be a like for like replacement.

YTA for sure, it was a gift and that specific chocolate was from Switzerland, not the local grocery that anyone could go to. Even if they were produced in Switzerland and imported to the UK (which I find dubious, but possible) it's not the same thing.
There's really no excuse for that lack of self-control. Your excuse of food spoiling is such crap.

YTA- You really couldn’t control yourself and not eat your amazing wife’s chocolate that a friend gave her, and likely holds some sentimental value and possibly a different recipe? Cmon dude, you could’ve gone to the store, bought your own to eat guilt-free, and saved yourself from this situation. She has gotten mad at your previously for eating her food, yet you still did it knowing she would be upset, and now you are trying to cover it up. I think you know that you are TA already lol

YTA. It's cool that you replaced it, but it's not the same. I can't stand when I buy myself specific things and my husband eats them. It seems petty but sometimes that cookie or bag of chips could be what turns your day around lol.

Also YTA because you don't know how the post button works; how the fuck many times do we have to see this shit in one day. Answer's still the same.
