Parmigiano Reggiano? Uh, yeah, Italians take that shit very seriously. I mean, it's illegal worldwide to name your cheese Parmigiano Reggiano unless it is made in that region under strict regulations. There's entire international treaties written about this.

    Yeah, that's acknowledged at the beginning of the video. Tangentially related, did you hear about the time the Dutch Belgians destroyed a shipment of American beer because the brand's slogan is "the champagne of beers"?
    Edit: very tired.

    That's wild. Why would the Dutch import High Life? It's certainly one of America's more tolerable lagers, but it's still like sex in a canoe.

    Great question. If I understood correctly, the purchaser/importer was German in Germany, but it's unclear what the intended destination was or why they'd import that instead of selecting a domestic/EEA option.
    Edit: tired.
