What do they have in common?  Well, yesterday I had &#8220;doh!&#8221; moments with both.<\/p>\n<p>For Toblerone, it was noticing that the mountain emblem on the packaging contains not just a mountain, but also a silhouette of a mountain goat, or some other similar animal.  To be fair, I only noticed it on a super-large special offer bin, where the normal logo was blown up to twenty times its normal size.  Nevertheless, I was momentarily taken aback by this packaging revelation.  (Draw whatever conclusions you like about my need to &#8220;get out more&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, while playing Gran Turismo for, oh I don&#8217;t know, maybe the five-hundredth time in the last two years, I discovered the button that pulls on the handbrake.  All this time, I&#8217;ve been using just the accelerator and the foot brake, and wondering why I have such a hard time making it through the Complex Spiral course in under the target time.  No wonder power-sliding was such a pain in the ass.  Jeez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.toblerone.com\">Toblerone<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/article.php?article_id=1838\">Gran Turismo 3<\/a>.
