Yes, and how scotch can only come from Scotland.

“Unreasonable” would be the key word. It seems reasonable that a person without a license should not be using a car.

I heard that only Champagne comes from France. Is that the same idea?

Hows that revenge? Sounds like her ex husband was no longer interested in his ex wife.

History was not kind to women, and all religions are rooted in the past. To say that religions treated women wrongly is to say that the religion was wrong, and you know that isn't going to fly.

My cheating ex at some point bought an apartment with her co-worker , also new partner, also same sport club. Seems happy because they can actually stand seeing each other 24/7/3+years. I'm not even mad bc I couldn't.

Matters a lot for protecting income. I think bourbon is only allowed to be called that if it's made in the US for example, so thus all the bourbon money goes to the us

Do a search about Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich, NY Yankees teammates who literally swapped wives and families with one another in 1973. They even announced it publicly at spring training that year.

What does it matter where something is made if it's made the same way. Sure, they can't claim it's swiss chocolate anymore, but the Matterhorn isn't Swiss made, and a part of it is in Italy.

They could use the south side of Matterhorn, that's Italian. Supposed Italy doesn't have a similar law

Yes of course, why all the hatred?
Have you been living under a rock or something? :
So much abuse that if the church was a corporation it would have been shut down and it's executives in jail.
A good documentary for you would be the Magdelen laundries.
When you have watched that come back and ask me why there is so little appetite for the Catholic Church.

Oh thats a pity. I think their logo is pretty cute with the not-so-hidden bear in the mountain shape. Too bad they'd rather save money, by moving production elsewhere. I suppose if thats their attitude about their own iconic logo, then so be it.

Understandable. It seems they are moving most of production from Switzerland to Eastern Europe. Which makes it not Swiss chocolate anymore.
The Matterhorn is an important Swiss landmark, which would still suggest it is Swiss made chocolate. They have to protect their brands and quality. If they allow everyone to seem like they are producing Swiss chocolate anywhere, it won't mean a thing anymore soon.

Disney’s version is a 1/100 replica scale (147 feet vs 14.7k) of the Matterhorn.

There's a reason the Puritans fucked off to the americas, they were whinging about being persecuted for not being able to persecute others.
It's just that we got tired of their shit in the 16th century.

Right!? It's so gross when my brother gives me back my "girlfriend" (fleshlight) without washing her out.
Even worse is when you don't realize it before going to town.

In grade 7 my science teacher was Mrs. Marchand, married to french teacher Mr. Marchand. The teacher in the adjoining classroom was Mr. Holowka. Between the two classrooms was a storage room that had access from both classrooms but no access from the hallway. Basically a shared closet. Halfway through grade 8 Mrs. Marchand became Ms. Luke (her unmarried name) and Mr. Marchand got into a fight with Mr. Holowka. In grade 9 it was Mrs. Holowka and Mr. Marchand no longer taught at the school.
You just know that storage room was the site of many dirty deeds.

The Toblerone Matterhorn logo can go hang out with the Land O Lakes Indian butter-maiden
