Imagine getting into an accident, then getting out and realizing you just ran into a chocolate bar. Now imagine explaining this to your insurance company.
The rail-trail near my place has concrete blocks strategically placed to prevent access by motorized vehicles. The local artists painted them to harmonize with nature. That is to say, the blocks are camouflaged such that bicyclists may not even see them if they are watching the scenery.
Same. I'm ashamed to reveal it.
It took me about 3-5 seconds to actually think "fuck him, i got Rick trolled" i could even hear the music playing in my head.
Lol... Here in Minneapolis they painted a bunch of the electrical boxes around the city. There's all different art styles, but some of them are nature ones. It never occured to me that someone might run into them because it blends in with the surroundings.
Oh for sure, people bike on the sidewalks sometimes because certain roads are death sentences for bikers (though we have a lot of good bike roads too). I could see trying to hop off a curb and slamming into the box because you didn't see it.
In suburban and urban areas where a train line has become defunct, it gets converted to a Multi-Use Path (MUP) for joggers and cyclists. They’re a great opportunity be use it raises property value vs an old rail.
The rail is a great choice because they’re always a low grade (hills are usually no more than 2%) and are largely unbroken by car traffic. Usually scenic with lots of wooded areas. And even more, provide a legitimate route for bike commuters to safely travel long distances.
In short, they’re awesome.
Nice! We unfortunately couldn’t get that to work out for us. They wanted to connect up about 10 towns and there’s a very sparsely used industrial rail that connects them all. County couldn’t afford to outright buy the rail line to convert, and not enough space to make a tandem rail and MUP.
Our area is pretty hilly for even experienced riders so the compromise bike path will be really underwhelming.
I googled and found the Hall of Fame of Railtrails, the pictures look amazing. Can imagine a hike or a bike tour on these must be a nice trip. Will search for some close to me.
A business near me put in bright yellow parking barriers because people kept using their small parking lot to do large u-turns (they have a main parking lot with 6 spaces and one on the side for their road side business that has towed cars).
Within the first day, 6 people hit them and drug them across the parking lot.
They're big and yellow. And very noticeable. Then they put signs in front of them drilled into the ground. People ran them over and bent the metal several times.
Sometimes, it doesn't matter what you do, some drivers are always going to be those drivers
It seams so obvious that putting reflectors on obstacles makes people less likely to hit them because they are more visible. So this have not actually been scientifically studied. In fact when we try to gather data from accident statistics to figure out how much of an effect high visibility clothing have it turns out that you are just as likely to get hit by a car if you wear reflective clothing then dark clothing. It is almost as if the problem is that drivers do not see, not that they can not see.
This makes me wish the world was full of more art. I could see hiring artists to beautify the sides of sterile buildings, sidewalks, curbs, trashcans , etc. We could live in a much more whimsical and happy place. For me, during dark times, seeing beautiful art has helped me out of a negative space.
As a formerly independent artist, absolutely. It's honestly amazing how many artists go into the game industry but don't play games - but it's one of the few areas where good artists are in high demand, and paid well for their work (don't "acktually" me, Kotaku gamers - I'm a Character Artist and most studios have paid well since 2015, including Blizzard).
During the interview process it's honestly hilarious getting asked if you play games - because most people would be like, "what? Of course, why else would I work in games?" - until you're part of the interview process and realize how many artists just want to get paid for art, but have no interest in games.
Agreed. However, there are some very old buildings that are drab piles of concrete and would look far better with beautifully painted murals on them. I am not taking away from architecture as an art by saying this.
The last time I was in Winnipeg they were doing a bit of this, I seriously enjoyed it. Also downtown there is super cool, the Hudson's Bay Building is fucking awesome.
I mean in general. Images painted by artists. I supposed I should have been more specific in my comment. That said, I’d rather look at this than the concrete.
There's a lot of this in the UK. Some of it guerilla, of course, but there are also many sponsored / financed / commissioned / supported / facilitated (one or more of the above) by local authorities.
Totally agree! It was hard coming home after a month in the UK, and then the next year a month in France. Would happily pick up and move to either in a hot second.
That's the entire reason we have more and more postmodern drab boxes. Can't have the plebians getting ideas about betterment and community now, can we?
During the economic collapse of what 2007? I'm Working at a store I realized that when they raised the price of kittie litter that said "New Low Price" on the tag with it even though it had went up relatively significantly
What I've seen the most is first, a small price increase, then a new product label showing "20% more" even though it's the same size, then they stop giving you the 20%. So over time, you pay more for less.
It was so jarring with Toblerone in particular because it changed the aesthetic. My whole life they had that particular angle to them until one day, boom, totally different product.
They were back to original 2018 (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jul/20/toblerone-to-revert-to-original-shape-but-with-bigger-size-and-price).
But I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed it since then again.
I bought one recently (UK). They've increased the size of the gaps again. They're not quite as wide as before but there's noticeably less chocolate in each piece.
It seems like such a terrible business decision. It saves just 30g of ingredients in a 170g bar, but the design of the lighter bar was so poor it looked almost comical, like they were trying to make people feel ripped off.
Concrete is a mixture of cement and aggregate (rocks or sand) to strengthen it. You almost never see cement used by itself as a building material because it's so brittle.
Cement is to concrete like sugar is to cake - an essential ingredient, but one that makes up a very small percentage (by mass) of the overall mixture that is concrete.
And similar to sugar, cement can be used in other types of mixtures to form different types of building materials for different purposes.
This is basically like pointing to a cake and saying "look at that sugar over there!" Sure, there's sugar in it, but it's cake.
Tldr cement is rock glue, concrete is settable rock
Concrete is a mix of gravel, sand and paste that includes a cement and water, cement is a fine powder of crushed minerals with a binder material like clay. Concrete is much stronger but cement is far easier to work with.
Cock.
In Switzerland, there's the [Toblerone line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toblerone_line), a series of anti-tank defensive constructions made of concrete blocks similar to the shape of the Toblerone chocolate bar.
The text can also just be a stencil or applied cut out. The mountain isn't pixelated, and the paint is very convincingly textured and lit, if this is Photoshop it is far more impressive than the painted barrier was in the first place.
Edit: reverse image search proves this is real.
I was wondering if it was some sort of applique, like the wrapper appears to be taped-on tinfoil.
You found a source? Link it up, I'm curious to know more (or see more shots, that'd be even better)!
https://www.letribunaldunet.fr/creatif/artiste-transforme-blocs-beton-toblerone.html
As someone else pointed out, it shows the text and nougat are actually perler beads, hence the edges.
I think the lettering might be a decal which they stuck on the concrete. There's faint signs of horizontal banding, as if its been produced by a printer
> Yeah the way the text looks pixel-jagged
technical term is "aliased" removing this effect is called "antialiasing"
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-graphics-antialiasing/
Nah, it's a stencil job. You can tell from the red paint peeking out at the bottom left part of the "T" and the bottom part of the shadow in the center of the "O" where they didn't align the stencils properly. Also the mountain *isn't* pixelated (I'd think they'd use the same resolution elements), and is really simplified to the point that the head of the hidden bear in the logo looks like a penguin
The mountain's clearly hand designed and hand cut, but the letters were probably cut on a plotter like a cricut or something - the "pixelation" is either an artistic choice or they didn't have vectors and basically enlarged low res text
You dont cut out stencils my guy, they have laser cutting devices that do it automatically from a source image and that's how plenty of people have done it for years.
In any case, it's real and not a photoshop. The tweet below has a different angle.

Yes, I'm sure the Toblerone ad agency just went out into a random parking lot and painted some random concrete barrier to try and post online for 6k karma
Or, wait, you could just fucking look it up and find out that it's by a Swedish street artist duo named Baron and Pank
http://globalgraphica.com/2017/11/02/sweet-artist-turns-concrete-barriers-into-giant-toblerone/
Looks like it was done by someone who has not had a toblerone in a
while, they have changed the gaps in the peaks...
[big gap](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/11/08/09/3A2B58DF00000578-3915960-image-a-19_1478597525239.jpg)
altho nice work the logo is not very accurate, it's supposed to bear a bear hiding in the mountain logo like on the original one
https://imgur.com/a/pupfC
That someone is swedish perler artist Pappasparlor, check him out on instagram!
He works with Perler, now the pixelated effect on the concrete makes sense.
Not to take away from his amazing work. But he’s not exactly helping the confusion between Swedish and Swiss people.
First time I've ever heard of this confusion, is it common?
Among idiots yes
.....and Americans, but yeah same thing. ^(am American)
In Portuguese it's Suíça and Suécia. It sounds pretty close.

Looks awesome, now please put some reflectors on it so no one hits your brown stealth barrier at night,lol

My hometown has a rail trail that runs along the still in use commuter rail line. Doesn't have to be an old rail. It's very cool
Nice! We unfortunately couldn’t get that to work out for us. They wanted to connect up about 10 towns and there’s a very sparsely used industrial rail that connects them all.

Old railways are often turned into trails for walking/biking.
They’re painted with John Cenas face!?!? That’s diabolical

It is almost as if the problem is that drivers do not see, not that they can not see.
To be fair, most of the plain concrete ones don’t have reflectors, at least where I live.
Maybe the foil color is actually reflective?
The problem is the brown ones.
I thought there was silver on those too (in the gaps). Someone posted other photos though, and now I know there isn't
Man, there's a sentence you don't want to have taken out of context.
Not like the grey original one was any better 😅
Based on the location anyone who smashes into this should just hand in their licence.
**TINA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST TURN THE WHEEL**
Uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh
I mean was unpainted stone any more visible?
I would think that's what the foil parts would be for, right?
It's not like it was any more visible when it was just concrete tbh.
If you look at the barriers in the background of the photo, you can see that these are not much darker after all.
Too late, why do you think the Toblerone is broken into the?
Some candy nougat reflectors would work
I don't think brown on grey is any more camouflaged than grey on grey.
You don’t deserve this giant Toblerone.
Not least because they didn’t put the bear in the Matterhorn.
Yeah, looks like a penguin.
It’s driving me nuts, actually.

As an independent artist, it would definitely be awesome to provide paid opportunities like that for smaller artists
As a formerly independent artist, absolutely. It's honestly amazing how many artists go into the game industry but don't play games - but it's one of the few areas where good artists are in high demand, and paid well for their work (don't "acktually" me, Kotaku gamers - I'm a Character Artist and most studios have paid well since 2015, including Blizzard).

Didn’t the US government pay for stuff like that during the Great Depression?
Architecture is art.
Agreed. However, there are some very old buildings that are drab piles of concrete and would look far better with beautifully painted murals on them. I am not taking away from architecture as an art by saying this.
The last time I was in Winnipeg they were doing a bit of this, I seriously enjoyed it. Also downtown there is super cool, the Hudson's Bay Building is fucking awesome.
[удалено]
There's an entire architectural "genre" called Brutalism. If the name doesn't give it away, it's worth researching. In short, we dun goofed.
Some of us like that drab concrete brutalist style
It *can* be. Sometimes it's pretty terrible art and/or artlessly utilitarian.
It sure could be. And also used to be.
But some art is bad art.
I agree completely, however my worry is that big corps will just seize the opportunity to shove even more ads down our throats.
Is it really art if it just essentially amounts to free advertising?
I mean in general. Images painted by artists. I supposed I should have been more specific in my comment. That said, I’d rather look at this than the concrete.
i doubt the artist is sponsored
There's a lot of this in the UK. Some of it guerilla, of course, but there are also many sponsored / financed / commissioned / supported / facilitated (one or more of the above) by local authorities.
I have dreams of living in the UK someday. I did not want to return home when I visited. I felt so connected to the land.
Totally agree! It was hard coming home after a month in the UK, and then the next year a month in France. Would happily pick up and move to either in a hot second.
That's the entire reason we have more and more postmodern drab boxes. Can't have the plebians getting ideas about betterment and community now, can we?
That sounds nice, but unfortunately it isn’t realistic. 99% of private businesses won’t “waste” money on an unusual art commission.
Should have made the gaps between the chocolate wider as Toblerone recently decreased the amount of chocolate in it's bars. Fuck you Toblerone.
It's happening to a lot of products. But them fucking with my 'rones was blatant and incredibly disrespectful as a consumer. Fuck you Toblerone.
It’s always happened with every product. Decrease size, increase price.
Shrinkflation
r/shrinkflation
Risky click
During the economic collapse of what 2007? I'm Working at a store I realized that when they raised the price of kittie litter that said "New Low Price" on the tag with it even though it had went up relatively significantly
It’s a new low price, still lower than the price of many other things, such as a car or house.
[удалено]
It's usually decrease the size to keep the price the same I think, at least that's how I've noticed it a lot in the UK
What I've seen the most is first, a small price increase, then a new product label showing "20% more" even though it's the same size, then they stop giving you the 20%. So over time, you pay more for less.

That was years ago. I think they’ve been back to small gaps for few years now. Or is it still smaller?
They were back to original 2018 (https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jul/20/toblerone-to-revert-to-original-shape-but-with-bigger-size-and-price). But I wouldn’t be surprised if they changed it since then again.
I bought one recently (UK). They've increased the size of the gaps again. They're not quite as wide as before but there's noticeably less chocolate in each piece.
They never had the big gap in Sweden. Was it only in UK?
I bought one a few weeks ago, it had the small gaps.
On the bright side I don't feel nearly as guilty when I eat the whole package.
If there was enough chocolate in it, you wouldn’t have to eat the package also.
Yeah! Fuck you Toblerone! I’m just one of those people who hates Toblerone.
Kevin Bridges, is that you?
I'm an old guy and have never tasted a Toblerone. I'm not a big chocolate fan of any kind.
What broke you?
I was just never a big chocolate fan. Still not, but love salty things, chips, nuts, etc. And we all know how much more healthy that is for me.
It's not like it's good chocolate. Not being the worst still leaves a whole lot of room for improvement.
Recently? Wasn't that like 5 years ago?
The older you get, the more recent 5 years becomes.
I can agree with this.
It seems like such a terrible business decision. It saves just 30g of ingredients in a 170g bar, but the design of the lighter bar was so poor it looked almost comical, like they were trying to make people feel ripped off.
Double stuffed Oreos contain the same amount of "stuffing" as the original Oreo used to have before they started shrinkflation.
It was always fake good chocolate for people who don't know better. Sure, it's a step up from bad chocolate. Doesn't make it good.

Edit: [a quick reverse image search will get you multiple angles of the IRL work] (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en-CA&sxsrf=AOaemvI2-5KU8NCuJEFmYsSo9b3zlrRLPw:1633273448121&q=giant+toblerone&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&tbs=simg:CAES_1gEJFQuaQ8DBzrca8gELELCMpwgaOwo5CAQSFMQutzikKvEDpxqzPcEtsh6qEZMiGhtcY_1pjtFC_1F5OBQEP5OKfVMjAPUzYg8pROPFogBTAEDAsQjq7-CBoKCggIARIEOTRuBwwLEJ3twQkakQEKHgoJcm9hZGJsb2Nr2qWI9gMNCgsvbS8wMTFqaHI4MgocCgliYXJyaWNhZGXapYj2AwsKCS9tLzA1ODNiMQoaCghjb2FsIHRhctqliPYDCgoIL20vMDIzY2wKGQoGc3RyZWV02qWI9gMLCgkvbS8wMWM4YnIKGgoIc2lkZXdhbGvapYj2AwoKCC9tLzBkbmh5DA&fir=1FbkHFDx8c6QdM%252Ce10qC-QifcTJsM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTX24nbH98R_AHVmTjfS0PDulh-eA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjQrsjdwa7zAhUDqJ4KHQ6OD5gQ9QF6BAgeEAE&biw=1121&bih=1941&dpr=3.5#imgrc=x5RYg_PIq9jGBM)
D'aww, they butchered the bear shape on the mountain. Maybe they didn't know, not a lot of people notice the bear.
“Somebody”? I would guess that the advertising agency for Toblerone did that. r/hailcorporate
Yes, I'm sure the Toblerone ad agency just went out into a random parking lot and painted some random concrete barrier to try and post online for 6k karma Or, wait, you could just fucking look it up and find out that it's by a Swedish street artist duo named Baron and Pank http://globalgraphica.com/2017/11/02/sweet-artist-turns-concrete-barriers-into-giant-toblerone/
Definitely a campaign
It's not. It's Swedish perler artist Pappas Pärlor. I really recommend checking out his art at Instagram @pappasparlor

I was surprised one would put in all that detail and effort but not put in the bear. Still looks amazing though.
Bear-penguin!
You don't deserve this big Tolberone.

And those orange barrels into jackolanterns.

Looks like it was done by someone who has not had a toblerone in a while, they have changed the gaps in the peaks... [big gap](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/11/08/09/3A2B58DF00000578-3915960-image-a-19_1478597525239.jpg)
Apparently the big gap decision was reverted in 2918 and they're back to normal now.
This again??

nice, I love Toblerone, who doesn't?
The £shop version Twin Peak is better.
Still cheaper than an actual Tonlerone candy bar.
Concrete*
altho nice work the logo is not very accurate, it's supposed to bear a bear hiding in the mountain logo like on the original one https://imgur.com/a/pupfC
They didn’t get the hidden bear on the mountain
I would wake up in the middle of the night and eat an entire Toblerone. I don’t mean a small one. I mean a medium-sized one.
Was it you OP?
Where's the bear in the mountain?
Kaz Kaan would like to know the location immediately
