Nestle is a Swiss company.


And I swear they used to pronounce their name NESSLES!

Old but spicey!

Lindt is swiss chocolate and that's not at all like Nestle.


And you're right Oldspice, it used to be pronounced nessles - as in the advert nessles milkybar!

Not all Swiss choc tastes the same.

It certainly doesn't.  My Lindt Easter Bunny was delicious!

Nessles was when we didn't have an understanding of how foreign languages differed in pronounciation?


I mean, is it Pershow, Peushow or Peugeot?

And yet people still pronounce Braun as 'brawn' and not 'brown'

Have Braun actually used the correct pronounciation in their advertising as Nestle do? It doesn't always catch on anyway - remember when Hyundai was suddenly pronounced 'Hyun-day' instead of 'Hi-yun-die'? Now it's gone back to the original way!

It was also briefly 'Shun-day'.


By the way, the word is pronunciation.
