Reply to comment by blahbleh112233 in Toblerone chocolate to cut iconic Matterhorn logo from packaging due to ‘Swissness’ laws by elizabeth-cooper
Did you even read what I wrote in these 2 comments? A third time just for you: It's completely understandable that companies can't write "Swiss chocolate" on chocolate made somewhere else. But Switzerland shouldn't be able to forbid the usage of a picture that resembles a mountain that happens to be in their territory.

I read what you wrote, have you heard of the moron in a hurry benchmark? I.e. that not everyone will read the labels for stuff and will go buy off oflook/picture alone? It's an actual legal test.
But lets be real, all these things are just cynical ploys for more money. I'm sure the Swiss would totally be ok with Toblerone using that mountain outline if they came to a licensing arrangement or something.
