      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?

      There’s another funny neighborly competition - Between 1978-2022 there was the “liqueur war” between Canada and Denmark over the Greenlandic Hans island. (Legally Greenland belongs to Denmark)
      Sometimes it was called the whisky/schnaps war..

    As an American man sitting at an IKEA table with his ever-present Swiss Army knife in his pocket, I can honestly say that I am grateful to both Sweden and Switzerland for the significant contributions they make, in small and large ways, to my life and my young daughters’ life. More specifically, in recognition to Switzerland’s contribution to making life more enjoyable, my daughter’s favorite meal is fondue and her favorite chocolate bar is Toblerone, so I’ll be making sure we enjoy some of both as we celebrate the Holidays (at our IKEA table).
    Wishing all the good people of Switzerland and Sweden a wonderful Holiday season and a prosperous New Year. I hope that my daughter and I can one day visit you both in person sometime soon, when she’s a little bit older to fully appreciate such a marvelous experience.

    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. 🇨🇭

      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).

    I also met two women in the airport and on flights recently that worked for Roche. They made them fly all the way over here to come into the office for some meetings, which seems kind of odd in today’s remote work.
    Also, from a Switzerland perspective, on spur of the moment, I decided to fly over and drove from Geneva to Zürich staying in Kandersteg, Murren, Tasch.
    Liked it so much. I sent my wife over to stay for a month in July and August.
    We really love the safe atmosphere. Not too much hustle and bustle in the Alps. And frankly, the demographics and lack of public drama is the highest part on our list. And I don’t know why people say they think it’s expensive there. Everybody can live and visit within a budget.
