Toblerone’s First Law


In honor of the holiday season, when it seems we encounter chocolate at every turn (and if we don’t we feel that it is okay to buy some for ourselves), I’ve come up with Toblerone’s First Law*, which states, the closer you are to chocolate the more you will want to eat it.

*Geography non-geeks may want to know that Tobler’s First Law states, “Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” It is a foundational concept in spatial analysis.
