Favorite Joghurt (aka Yogurt) Flavors?

Oops! I am such a know-it-all sometimes. Insufferable, I know. Sorry @Owliet ! And sorry to @Darkkin, too, for my trying to be a bit of a know-it-all.

I'm sure it's not a problem and they do speak German there. Or 'Swiss German' at least. The important thing is that they have chocolate rivers and cheese mountains. :D I like to think they have that there.

It’s interesting that there are different ways to spell yogurt.…

When I worked in a supermarket, the rack in the chiller where the yogurts were kept was labeled "Yoghurts" Every so often, someone would scribble out the h with a marker pen. Then the department manager would rub it off. (Side note, one of my favorite German words, Abteilungsleiterinnen) Then someone else would scribble it out. Then another manager would rub it off. Then someone put a sticker with "Yogurts" over it. Then I was asked to peel it off. Then people would try to peel off the original label. But it was an industrial grade label, so it took a while. Over time, people worked away at removing that original label, while others tried to keep it on. Pretty controversial, that one letter h. I wonder if that label has survived to this day....

Did you see the protest on the news last week? Someone was very angry with Sweden and organized a protest. Then they burned the Swiss flag... :) Maybe I shouldn't laugh but that's a little funny. They were shouting "Death to Sweden, Sweden sucks!" and then they pull out a Swiss flag and burn it. Difficult to not laugh.

Well, since I already made a bit of an ass out of myself, I will further display my ignorance because of my curiosity… Is German the main language spoken in Switzerland?

You can buy yoghurt in small plastic pots or in 1 liter milk cartons here, that's handy. This is vanilla "Frokostyoghurt" in a carton, it means "breakfast yoghurt".

Got it!

I was actually there once when I was a young girl with my family. But, I was too young to remember any yogurt or chocolate. I do remember hiking in the Alps because that was basically unforgettable.

Schweizerdeutsch. And even then we have different dialects.

Yes, yes…we totally have them. Zermatt is made from cheese.=D

That is so weird that people would do that. And quite funny.=D

I mean, to be fair…sometimes things have to be taken into hands. There’s only so much that can be taken.

No you haven’t.=). Like I said to @Forest Cat . There are 3 official spoken languages: German, French and Italian with Romansh (which is the “old language but it is not really used like less than 0.5% of the population speak it so not really a language) and English is also becoming another language spoken. However, Schweizerdeutsch is not the same as German in Germany. A lot of Germans find it a bit difficult to understand since we have the weird words in our Schweizerdeutsch language. Like we learn German but we have different words. For example; Carrots is Karotte(n) in Germany and here it is often Rüebli.

The alps are amazing. And I come from a place known for nature and mountains, but the Swiss alps are just spectacular.

I always thought people got Switzerland and Swaziland confused.

A joke I heard about the Swiss flag:

I don't know what it's like to live in Switzerland, but the flag is a big plus...
 
I mentioned earlier that I like all yoghurt but I remember one I didn't like. Rhubarb flavored yoghurt. That was a little nasty, rhubarb can be a difficult flavor.

Actually, I always thought that their mountains must be made of chocolate, I mean, you've seen what a Toblerone bar looks like, right? :)
 
As for yog(h)urt, I like Greek yogurt with honey, fresh fruit like blueberries, strawberries and rasberries, and granola.

How about onion flavored yoghurt? :D I'll bet you guys have that at the Zibelemärit. ;)

I remember reading that the Toblerone is actually inspired by the Matterhorn mountain. So Matterhorn is most likely made of chocolate. The Swiss are trying to keep a delicious secret from us. :)
