Most folks (outside of Switzerland) say that Bern is the capital of Switzerland. But it's not, really, it's just the place where federal offices are, because they have to go somewhere.

I did not know this! And I'm of Swiss heritage too, sheesh.
Is the ad for chocolate ?
I don't want to risk getting hypnotised by an ad if it is not for chocolate.
I married a woman who father was Swiss
but even still ... if it's not about chocolate ...
