The comic was made by Pierre “Peyo” Culliford in 1958, and the original name is Les Schtroumpfs. Apparently, more than 100 different Smurf characters have since been created, and they all have names based on their characteristics such as “Papa Smurf” or “Clumsy Smurf”.

3. Muesli

A popular breakfast option, Muesli is actually conjured up in Switzerland by a physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner. The healthy cereal is simple to make by combining oats, dried fruits, nuts, and milk or yogurt.

Muesli has a hearty texture and a sweet/tart flavor that makes it a popular breakfast choice. It is also high in fiber and protein, making it a nutritious way to start your day.

I was going to continue, but I was busy with work. There were only seven things, so with The Smurfs we're still missing two, so...
[Belgium] 9. Baarle
Baarle is a very strange town that lies on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands. It is very unusual, because the border runs through the middle of the street or the middle of a house or a restaurant. That creates peculiar situations, since both countries have different trade and alcohol sale regulations and different laws and taxes.

 @ zhou,  interesting 

Let me finish it off with a thing both Belgium and Switzerland are famous for: chocolate!
10. Belgian chocolate [Godiva, Leonidas, Côte d’Or, Neuhaus]
4. Swiss chocolate [Lindt, Milka, Toblerone]

Godiva, lindt    :x

5. Swiss Army Knife

The Swiss Army Knife is a multipurpose pocket knife that was invented in Switzerland and is now considered to be a national icon. The knife has a variety of functions, such as a blade, screwdriver, can opener, and scissors.

It is made from high-quality materials and is often used by outdoorsmen and hikers. The Swiss Army Knife is a practical tool that is also very collectible.


And when I see this knife just remembering old Hollywood drama MacGyver. Who watch it too...? Haha
