A Finnish man attempted to 'hijack' a plane using a Toblerone chocolate bar, demanding to be taken to Sochi so he could watch the Winter Olympics.
Antti Oskari Manselius, 23, from Finland, had wrapped two economy class blankets around his head, wearing a third as a cape when he waved the chocolate bar 'like a sword' as he walked towards the cockpit.
Manselius also made a false bomb threat on the Cathay Pacific flight from Amsterdam to Hong Kong on February 14, and said he was robbing the plane, airplane staff said.

Seems your conclusion was shared by the captain and the Hong Kong police.
I always have to pronounce Toblerone very slowly. I always want to say Toberlone.
Just a bit of trivia for your Friday evening.
"Well let me tell you something my lad! When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after YOU with a bunch of Snickers bars, don't come cryin' to me!"
They can have my tobler when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!
