The South Sandwich Isles, a cold and remote archipelago near Antarctica, were discovered by James Cook.
The starving crew celebrated their luck by slaughtering a walrus and constructing a walrus sandwich, a that point the world's largest ever sandwich, for a feast. The islands were named after the world record snack.

The rails on toboggans are made from Toblerone boxes.
Toblerone’s shape represents the Alps, and was the first in a series of chocolate bars modelled on mountain ranges. The Toblerone contains small particles of nougat
Others, including the Toblertwo, modelled on Ben Nevis and containing traces of haggis, the Toblerthree, sushi-based and representing Mount Fuji and the Toblerfour, depicting four American presidents and hot dog flavoured, were not commercially successful.

Gravy was first found in 1914 when digging for victory. It’s became known as black gold, and is a highly traded commodity on the stock market.
