This...

... annoys me!

More and more often I see items that are marketed as of Swiss origin, marked with the Red Cross symbol, or recently, in a movie, a first aid kit marked with the Swiss Flag.

In that movie, people were running for their lives in a submarine which was about to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Two sailors conduct an intense conversation in a narrow passage, in front of the first aid kit, which was painted red with a white cross. It wasn't a Swiss submarine, they don't have any, it was an American one. Sheesh, didn't they have better research in that movie budget?

I buy a certain kind of smoked sausage, it's black, hard, tastes like a fine salami. The products is sold as a Swiss sausage... and is marked with the red cross symbol.

Not everyone knows that the Swiss flag is a white cross on a red background. But I think you would have to be an alien from outer space or a small child not to know the symbol of the 'Red Cross'. Just in case you are such an alien... surprise, it is a red cross.
