Belgium chocolates AIBU?

[username108]

Why does everyone say Belgium chocolate? I thought it was supposed to be Belgian. It drives me crazy when I see it. It's Belgian chocolate isnt it?

I don't know anyone who says Belgium chocolate!?

I've never seen anyone say Belgium chocolates! Well, until I saw your thread!

It is Belgian... I don't think I've heard anyone say Belgium. Is it an accent thing maybe?

I've never heard anyone say Belgium chocolate, until now.

I see this a lot on menus, as "Belgium Waffle" rather than Belgian. YANBU and it drives me mad too!

Seriously, everyone on SM says it!!!

That’s like ‘France fries’.

Stay off social media. Clearly a bunch of ignoramuses.

Your mission is to correct that. Good start on here.

I wonder if its a bit like the 'chester draws' situation😂

YANBU, but only because my DH says it, so I know it's a thing. It would drive me mad, but he only says it when he's buying it for me, which I can live with.

@GreyishDays

That’s like ‘France fries’.

Or Germany sausage!

Yes you're right I think.

It's the equivalent of saying France fries rather than french fries

I think....

Denmark pastries
Switzerland cheese
England muffins
Norway Wood

I knew this was what this thread would be about before I opened it.

It drives me crackers!! There’s a sweet shop near me that sells’Belgium Chocolates’ argh

Greece yoghurt, Sweden massage, Thailand curry.....

Not quite the same, but I really can't stand it when someone orders an 'Expresso'

When I lived in the USA, down the road from the farm I worked at there was a Belgium draft (horse) breeder. Nope, it's Belgian. Used to drive me crazy.

Jesus Christ, Godiva themselves are at it.

Where is the picture? Try again.

Firstly, who are these people are why are they all talking about chocolates?

Secondly, you need to change your circle of acquaintances if they say stuff like ‘Belgium chocolates’. Good grief.

Thirdly, no good can come of SM!

Until this thread, I’d never heard or seen anyone call them Belgium chocolates. I definitely would have noticed.

@username108

No they don’t.

Everyone on your social media might. Find new people to follow.

I haven’t heard this either but that Instagram post from Godiva hurts me

Not chocolates but dogs..

Belgium Shepherd dog, Belgium Malinois (or in one case, Belgium Malinwah... shudder)

I don't know why. It makes me want to beat them to death with a blunt object though.
