The reason for the bear

The bear on the packet is hidden within the outline of the mountain. As reported by 1000logosnet, Toblerone was first established in 1908 in Switzerland. The mountain in the image is believed to be a homage to the Matterhorn mountains in the Swiss Alps.

The reason for having a bear is because the chocolate was created in the city of Bern in Switzerland, which is also called ‘the city of bears.’ Thus, bears are a symbol of Bern, even appearing in the city’s coat of arms. Toblerone, therefore, pays tribute to its city of birth through its logo.
