Ah, Switzerland.
I know it's not the best country to have on one's side during a war, what with its military consisting of a guy named Frank (most likely borrowed from Austria) and its guns produced by Playskool. But its scenery is gorgeous, its citizens are super friendly and those goddamned Swiss know cuckoo clocks and chocolate better than anyone in the world. Hell, I'm pretty sure "Cuckoo Clocks" and "Chocolate" are majors at every Swiss university.
Anyway, the Swiss have created low-fat, no-melt chocolate. Something which Americans, particularly those in the South (http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/07/mississippi-weighs-in-as-fattest-state-for-5th-year.html) will REALLY benefit from.
Many of us, myself included, also really need to cut down on our deep fried and re-deep fried pizzas with bacon fat and ice cream on top. It's hell for the arteries.
So thank you to the Swiss. They weren't much good fighting Hitler, but at least they've created something which can help make our physiques look less like Churchill's.
