Very good iniciative for new generations know the old brands and the quiality of desing. We hope somebody make something like this in some Cancun resorts. Thank you.

I’m glad they keep the Fork. I wouldn’t be able to resist taking some tourist pose with the fork as well. Now you got me thinking what kind of pose do I want when I visit there.

Once I was in Vevey and I love this romantic city. I’ve really great remembership to this city. Your photos are great and also the information about the museum, I’ve not been to this museum. But I hope to visit Vevey (and this museum) soon. Wonderful hint.

Lani, haha, excellent question! You would think that Nestle chocolate would be free-flowing. But nope. The only chocolate samples were if you do a computer quiz on describing the texture of chocolate when you taste it. So you get a tiny little Cailler mini. Better than nothing I suppose!

Julia, ok, the Alimentarium is on the list for your trip to Switzerland. Done. I’m ready to go back again already! And how cool to have worked in food packaging design. I too am just crazy for old labels, vintage tins – and of course have quite a collection of the latter, just like you, go figure! As for your trip to Tasmania, sounds pretty awesome to me. Of course you’ll have to hit up the Cadbury factory, just be sure to bring an empty suitcase with you! haha!

Scribetrotter, love your image of the Vaudois officials debating… the fork! Too funny indeed. And YES, a fondue fork, how funny would that have been?! Enjoy Vevey when you get there – food, history and the fork. Be sure to report back when you do… !

This sounds like great fun! I agree about the fork – this is a landmark that’s made to attract (a bit like the Jet d’Eau in Geneve?) I can easily imagine the Vaudois bureaucrats locked up in their offices debating the pros and cons of the fork… c’est pas tres Suisse… c’est pas une fourchette a fondue…

I love it! And it IS new – at least for me – I haven’t been to Vevey since the late 80s so I’ll be sure to take a hop over to that yummy museum – history AND food? Can’t miss that.

You must take me here! I love it. My first job was in food packaging design, in London. I worked on big brands like Masterfoods and Colman’s. I just love all this stuff, especially vintage. You don’t even want to get me started on my collection of tins. Love vintage food tins. Or just food tins. Came back from my trip last year with practically a suitcase full – from Fauchon, Hershey, Foucher…. I am going to Tasmania and there is a Cadbury factory there. Wonder if they have cool stuff like that there, too? Okay, put this on the itinerary for when I visit you one day!

Your photography of the museum is awesome. I do love all the vintage signs and machinery that was used to make chocolate. Yes, I would love to visit this little town that is filled with so much. Your photography makes it all pop right out of the computer…..quick question…..do they give you free samples of Nestle chocolate????

I love the fork. I haven’t seen it, but I love it and can’t wait to see it someday. As to the museum I think this would be a place I would enjoy going to as well. I love all the old labels.
