I cheated a bit but
" Toblerone was created by Emil Baumann & Theodor Tobler (1876–1941) in Bern, Switzerland, in 1908. ... However, according to Theodor's sons, the triangular shape originates from a pyramid shape that dancers at the Folies Bergères created as the finale of a show that Theodor saw"
Unfortunately if they recreated the show now there wouldnt be as many dancers, as they removed a few pyramids of chocolate from each bar a few years ago to economise
