Does the existence of the Toblerone imply also the existence of the Toblerino, indeed also of the Tobleroncello?

Def 6pm. Well correct. Well spotted.
Booked for the workshop a few weeks ago, and hoping to get to the evening concert (work permitting). Is the time given here incorrect though? It's listed as 6pm on the ticket link, but 7pm on the poster.
