Default Is anybody here from Switzerland? If yes, I have a question.

As the title suggests, I have a question, that probably only Swiss people can answer.

Here's the question:

What is a "Töffli".

If possible, please answer in german, although english is also okay.

Hmm, I'd assume it was toffee or something.

Another question: Exactly how big is the Swiss Navy?

Another question: How many Swiss army knives does the average Swiss household own?

Well what? everyone else was asking questions

I doubt it. It was from a possible argumentation topic which was "Velo or Töffli"?

As far as I know, a Velo is a Bicycle.

So: "Bicycle or Toffee?"

Thank you Fienepien.

We had those Swiss practice sheets (for german), and all, including the teacher were going like: "What the hell is a Töffli?". And we couldn't really agree on what it could be. We have students from Russia, Greece, England, Scotland, and Austria in that class, but no-one from Switzerland.


Actually, the teacher had blanked out that option on the sheet, but had left the bullet point, so we asked what had been there, and he told us.

Thank you!

Now I can tell them what it is.
