      This was really fun! As a Swede, I have never heard or met another Swede who talks or spreads bad things about Switzerland. But as usual there are individuals whose greatest pleasure is to spread hatred between people on social media. Is it due to limited insight or some kind of complex?

    Americans love the swiss knife and I laughed out loud when I saw the ultra big one you had. In America we love it when everything is bigger and the Embassy of Switzerland to the U.S. definitely knows who their audience was XD XD Thank you guys. Also, I have one of your Swiss backpacks. You guys definitely rock! (Love you too Sweden. Was very happy when my small city got an Ikea)

      I got one as a child and I played with it a lot, but I also cut myself a couple of times (unsure if it was wise of my parents to give a knife to a child?). So my relationship is mixed.

      As a Swiss, I'm telling you, you should finally get IKEA furniture, not that cheap stuff from the Far East, because it's better? No, because the Swiss army knife fits in there 😜
      Seriously, I've had pocket knives since the end of my school days, not necessarily for assembling furniture, but every now and then you have a situation where a screw is loose (I don't mean the one in your head 😂) and you need to cut something (preferably Cheese or sausage on a sunny lake shore). And what almost only Swiss soldiers can do, open cans in no time (the best and easiest can opener, I've now convinced my daughter of that).

Comfort yourself, I've cut myself before (as an adult), most severely when cutting salami during my time in the army (these things cut particularly well when they cut into your own meat).

    As the Ambassador to my country, yes, America is mine, you must have been stunned by all the items we love that we think might be Swiss, to wit: Swiss cheese. Nope, we don’t have any “Swedish cheese;” Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix. Nope, we don’t have any Swedish hot cocoa mixes on our store shelves; Ricola. Again, Sweden is left at the starting gate. Lastly, one of my mom’s favorite dishes to make for our family dinner…Swiss Steak. Trust me, it was tasty but I really don’t think anyone in Switzerland would recognize it. So, you see, Switzerland is representing all over this great country. 🇨🇭
