You've been eating Toblerone wrong your entire life
All that chocolate-related suffering has been for nothing
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Everyone loves a good Toblerone – whether it’s the mini one you bought yourself from Tesco; the gift you got from your cousin who has no idea who you are; or the £75 version that is the size of a small child.
What nobody loves is trying to break off the little pieces, stressing out, and getting chocolate all over your hands.
If you haven’t given up and used your teeth to bite bits off instead, you’re a liar.
So, is the number one triangular chocolate snack badly designed? Nope – you’ve just been doing it all wrong.
Toblerones are designed that way for a reason.
Take a look at the gif below.
Don’t try to tug the pieces off, try to break them off by pushing the top of the triangle down.
Genius.
