The existence of toblerone implies the existence of related triangular hydrochocolate chains such as the base alkane (toblerane), as well as the closed ring form (cyclotoblerone)
@azonenberg @afewbugs cyclotoblerone is just a normal one eaten while riding a bicycle
@dx @azonenberg cyclotoblerone is just a normal one ridden while eating a bicycle
@sluttymayo it took me a couple passes to see what you’d done there.
@dx @azonenberg @afewbugs Toblerone come in packs of six. That's a Toblersix.
@azonenberg Toblerone implies Toblersucc(one) implies Toblersucc(succ(one)). By induction, then, Toblerinfinity. QED
@azonenberg Split off the side chain to yield tobleral, reduce the carboxyl of that to yield toblerol, or oxidise the hydrogen to yield tobleroic acid, react two equivalents of toblerol under dehydrating conditions to form ditobleryl ether...
@zuthal @azonenberg I think there are some chemists lurking in these chat rooms...

@zuthal @azonenberg

what reaction, if any, would produce the enzyme toberlase?

@saltywizard @zuthal @azonenberg like there would be a digestive enzyme called striptease which consumes textile fibers?
@zuthal @azonenberg Looking forward to polymerization!
@zuthal @azonenberg or we could react toblerol with tobleroic acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to yield tobleryl tobleroate. I wonder what kind of scent/flavour that could be used for.
@azonenberg there's also a closely-related compound that crystallises into heptahedra

@azonenberg

Or possibly toblertwo!

@geofftc @azonenberg and of course toblerthree and so on.

The field of chocomathics is full of wonders.

@azonenberg
This seems pretty legit.
That's S C I E N C E for you!
@azonenberg Thanks for clearing that up! I always thought Tobler One was the Swiss president's plane. How naive of me 😅
@azonenberg normally, I pronounce "chocolate" as rhyming with "that", but here I'm pretty sure it's hydrochocol-ate
@cceckman @azonenberg If you remove some oxygen, do you get chocolite and then chocolide? Chocoline ions floating around?
@azonenberg I had always assumed we mined tobleron, and then various chemical reactions produced both toblerone and toblera
@azonenberg what are the properties of toblerone oxime

@azonenberg ¡hahahahah!

and the form where the alkane on one side is replaced with a hydrogen - tobleral

and the tautomeric toblerenol

I could literally do this all day and it is taking enormous self restraint not to...

@GetzlerChem Under heat and pressure, like leaving it in the car, it can partially restructure to form toblerenes or even toblerynes. @azonenberg

@azonenberg I couldn't help it...

and foolishly made another one I like more...

@GetzlerChem @azonenberg what happened to toblerate?
@dplattsf @azonenberg excellent question. we’d have to determine the pKa of the parent tobler species to determine if it could form under the specified conditions
@GetzlerChem @azonenberg let’s hope we can find funding for this important experiment
@GetzlerChem @azonenberg This is why I come to Mastodon.
(I am willing to serve as a toblerase upon request.)
@Virginicus @azonenberg very generous. science can only move forward due to selfless folks such as yourself :p
@azonenberg is that what people on a keto diet eat? Would the liquor-filled version be called "toblerol"?
@azonenberg the ionic form when its been finished...... Toblerate?
@azonenberg since toblerone has three sides, would toblertwo be rectangular? Would toblerthree be pentacular? Is the upper limit of toblerN a tube or a sphere?
@Kay @azonenberg Higher dimensional chocolate maths?
@t_heit @azonenberg Topological ToblerONE (and two onwards )
@azonenberg
And tritoblerone triperoxide. Mother of Nougat.
@vik that sounds like pop rocks x1000, one false move and there's a big brown sugary crater where you used to be
@vik (insert gory photo of chocolate Santa missing a limb or head and caramel filling pooling on the ground around it)
@azonenberg
Easy created from household confFFOOOOMMMM!!
@azonenberg Probably all made by Mondelez after they took over Toblerone
@azonenberg well there's a weekend project
