Serbia has a black licorice candy named 'Negro', after the surname of the Italian dude who made the recipe for that specific mix and the color of the mix (being the Italian word for black), and the advertising slogan was "the chimney sweeper for your throat" causing the mascot to be... uh...

As far as I'm aware, it's genuinely just a coincidence.

Negro is truly terrible, thanks for reminding me. The lowest ranked candy of my childhood, alongside the equally bafflingly named Bronhi.

I wanna learn some more stuff about how incompetent the Nazis were. I've seen a lot about the evil poo poo they did, but I want to see more stories like them making a bunch of handcrafted tanks only to have them destroyed by some Soviet tank made in a tractor factory.

If you think you’d enjoy reading about how the nazis bungled the entire economy and how the whole Hitler gave people jobs and prosperity thing is a myth, read Adam Tooze’s Wages of Destruction. It’s one of my favorite Schadenfreude books.

Collaborationist regimes, ranked by level of cooperation with Germany:

- Romania
- Hungary
- Estonia
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Monaco
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Serbia
- Sweden
- Denmark
- France
- Albania
- Italy

what are the criteria? Because I feel Croatia and Serbia should be way up there due to their successful genocide against the Jews…
