Swiss Navy

Switzerland shares several lakes with neighboring countries: Lake Geneva (France), Lake Maggiore (Italy) and Lake Constance (Germany). Otherwise, Switzerland is a landlocked country. It is somewhat amusing therefore to think of Switzerland as having a navy force and to name a product “Swiss Navy”. Star Trade, the same producer of Swiss Army chocolate, also produces a product called Swiss Navy sugar-free mints which are sold in small metal boxes. The box prominently displays the Swiss shield and the cardboard box in which they are distributed features a cut out of the Matterhorn.
