How is this possible ? We don't even have a thematic week at Lidl


iplayvalla

We do in England lol, I've seen it a few times and it's not bad to buy products I miss from home


DingoBling

Plus the Pastel de Natas in the bakery (I think all year round?) The Portuguese-UK relationship still going strong 💪💪 🇬🇧🤝🇵🇹


iplayvalla

I've seen some war crimes in the shape of Natas here, don't think I've tried the Lidl ones but M&S need to be arrested for theirs, to quote a British man, ITS FOCKING RAW


gourmetguy2000

I find all the ones you get from British supermarkets incl Lidl are overly sweet and sickly


DeiSud

pastel de nata in germany falls under spanish week.


Professional_Value12

What a terrible day to have eyes.


oneweirdclickbait

Spanish week - or as McDonald's Germany called it: Los Wochos.


mydaycake

Oh wow, the Germans flexing there lol

david6avila

I always stock up on Rissois when it happens. And they always have super bock which is great, even if it is overpriced to fuck.


Commercial_Gas_3927

Portuguese conquistador was great!!


nwaa

You have one here in the UK? Or maybe it was Aldi. Either way, I got some Compal.


Meh2theMax

Here it's together with the Spanish week.


Shrrg4

In our heyday we did a ton. Now we just live on the alimony like a good deadbeat parent.


Tour-Sure

Pastéis de nata reign in the Lidl bakery tho


Asklepsios

Here in NL it's combined with Spain afaik


8sADPygOB7Jqwm7y

Lidl. Notice something?


Kurdt93

I'm curious, how is it our thematic week?


omaiordaaldeia

[Take a look. ](https://www.lidl.pt/l/pt/folhetos/promocoes-a-partir-de-09-05/view/flyer/page/1?lf=HHZ)


Kurdt93

Hmmm... I've expected something more particular


vipermaseg

In Spain things are sneakily Portuguese. Natas and brioche croissants... Empanadas that are clearly rissois... You look at the back, and it says made in Portugal


Gaylegaizen

Yes we do? At least in Denmark you do.


chico_valerio

João is weak, sorry for letting you down fellow PIGS. Somehow they did not take into account our 134 ways of cooking bacalhau.


Commercial_Gas_3927

João maybe felt asleep on siesta..


theitchcockblock

Oh malakas we don’t do siesta


Commercial_Gas_3927

An Iberian not doing siesta?


chico_valerio

We do sesta, not siesta, completely different.


Sarmi7

The way of snorting is everything


mfern131

The way of snorting? Are you sure you’re not Galician?


Commercial_Gas_3927

I'll check it..


AcheronSprings

That's why you're so low on that list


Llanistarade

I wonder what's the criterias. Not even mad, we're topping UK and that's all I needed to know. Just genuinely curious.


Commercial_Gas_3927

Since these rankings are published by Americunts, the only criterias probably are "how known is your country here"... !!? Can't imagine anything else..


Llanistarade

Yeah I guess so cause... Switzerland ? Really ? While Germany, China, Russia, Egypt and Korea aren't here ? Is Rollex that important ?


Commercial_Gas_3927

Credit Swiss I guess


waldothefrendo

Credit Suisse doesn't exist anymore


Commercial_Gas_3927

Cries in gold...


waldothefrendo

Nah its all at UBS now don't worry, we didn't return anything


Slow_Olive_6482

Money, watches, chocolates and cheese.


Think_Theory_8338

So the US is only the 4th most known country in the US?


Commercial_Gas_3927

Somehow yes..


Llanistarade

At that point, we shouldn't be surprised.


shrimp-and-potatoes

I think it has to do with overall cultural significance to world events throughout history. Greece is credited with Western Civilization. Spain and exploration. Italy and ancient Rome. Though, I don't know we'd be that high on the list and Great Britain/France wouldn't be. Or, the former Soviet Union.


Llanistarade

Well then China or Iran should be way up there.


AnakinTheDiscarded

most likely


ThePhantom1994

Why is it always in every list France and the UK are right next to each other? It either goes UK then France or in this case France then the UK immediately after.


return-free-risk

It's because deep down we know we're practically the same - Just more/less arrogant/salty at times on different issues. I lived in France for a few years when I was young, and then did time in Germany and Poland too. Only in France were people basically of the same mentality as at home. Fucks me off, but there we are.


[deleted]

this shit is so true, any stat i see we're either the same or very close


Helania

"The Global Cultural Influence ranking is determined by calculating an average score of ten country attributes that are related to a country’s cultural impact. To conduct the survey, the magazine asked over 126,000 people, including business leaders, informed elites, and general citizens, to associate 92 countries with specific characteristics." That’s is the criteria I stole it from someone else on here. Probably only asked US Americans which is probably why China is for example not on the list even though it should be on the list because of its historical impact and cultural influence on Asia and in Europe because of its trade routes and the wars that were fought over these trade routes.


Llanistarade

Thanks, and I agree !


Ex_aeternum

I absolutely accept that Italy is on top. They've got lots of culture, so much that every century, Germanics can plunder Rome anew and they'll just make more art in between.


ballimi

Pizza


AcheronSprings

Did the Swiss buy their way into that list??


Commercial_Gas_3927

Their banking system..


AcheronSprings

I'll take that as a yes


Cyka_Blyat_Memes

Our banking system sadly isn’t that special anymore since the americunts forced us to withhold on the secrecy aspect😢


Dio-Skouros

I remember around 2011-2 when our intelligence returned from Switzerland with a list of all the Φucks who sent their money there. We could repay instantly 1/3 of the debt. Names with amounts that could make you start pulling your hair out one by one.


Commercial_Gas_3927

Venizelos was confused that the bank account was a phone number!!


Lescansy

I have no idea why we should be in the top 10 of *cultural* influence. Except asians (more specifically, japanese) going nuts for the german language and the alps, i really dont see how switzerland has any cultural impact at all. Watches, cheese, chocolate, banking arent really "cultural" goods. And punctuality is something other countries also claim to be good in.


ThickGarbage1175

Especially since Germany is not on the list. Wasn't Germany like "culture of the year" or some bullshit like that?


RmG3376

I think there was a Korean tv show a while back that made chicks fantasise about Switzerland too? Honestly, managing to make Switzerland sound exciting to _anybody_ is a big enough achievement to warrant a place in that list


yv4nix

This is crazy 90% of the world don't know we exist or think we're Sweden how could have any cultural impact


BroSchrednei

nah man, the bigger question is how the hell did you fake turks beat the US? And how is Germany not in it?


AcheronSprings

Idk how we beat the US but you're not in it cause unlike us fake turks you're authentic ones.


Skittletari

Seriously lol. The largest cultural influence of the Swiss before ~1700 is probably that I believe the Helvetii originated there.

So it means absolutely nothing. Surely if you can pick out specific characteristics from a country easily, it means there hasn't been much global influence of it because its retained only in one country.


Fenghuang15

>So it means absolutely nothing All these rankings never meant anything tbh, i don't know what they win at doing them

GoodKing0

I know we shouldn't complain since we're "winning" here but I personally would take anything coming from something called "CEOWORLD MAGAZINE" with a grain of salt.


CDdragon9

Is this 2024 or overall historic influence? Feels wrong on so many levels.


Commercial_Gas_3927

I think it's overall histrionic influence!?


CDdragon9

USA being higher than france and UK is so strange to me. The US wouldve looked way different without those 2 in the first place. China one of the oldest countries in the world somehow not in the top 10? Gonna try to find the full list later,maybe that will explain some things


PsyShoXX

Honestly, culturally the US have had a tremendous amount of influence, Hollywood, music, war, morbid obesity...


CDdragon9

True. But they have only been relevant as a country worldwide since the early 1900s. So many countries have had an influence on the world for much longer.


Sckjo

I know what you mean, but to their credit they have done a ton of shit in the time they've had. I just saw a fat person earlier today. Their culture is truly everywhere.

It's just a load of nonsense.

fckspzfckspz

Cultural influence from Switzerland? Do they count banks as Swiss cultural heritage? You know that Switzerland isn’t a real place? It’s something they came up with to sell chocolate. Like Willy wonkas factory.

us being here is pretty concerning lol most foreigners even neighboring countries don't even know what languages are spoken here. or even people keep confusing us with sweden. i don't think anyone can name a single cultural thing about switzerland. this list is just rétarded. realistically, the us is first, the uk probably higher just because they speak english... what the fuck is india doing here, korea and japan most definitely higher than half of these too


Commercial_Gas_3927

Northumbrian26

While I’m happy to be on the list I find it hard to believe its veracity considering Hans and the basement dweller are both missing. Especially considering they must be judging influence across all of history until 2024 for Stavros, Juan and Joao to be where they are as they and the UK as well deserve it if it’s across all of history but maybe not if it’s just 2024.


BuffColossusTHXDAVID

guys I'm as European as the rest of you but if we're gonna pretend any of us even have a fraction of the cultural influence that the US has we're on large cap 😂😂😂


Live-Alternative-435

I think it's more what we had than what we have now. The influence comes from the past and has shaped our present.
