OK, I bite... What in the world is the evil eye, Turkey?
I think, they mean the Nazar amulet, which shall protect against the evil eye (Böser Blick), not the evil eye itself.
I think there's an error because it says "chocolate" for Ireland, Belgium and France but it should be Ireland, Belgium and Switzerland
Yeah sorry we're getting rid of Switzerland and just making it France 2.
Forty years as a Spaniard and I just learnt now tourists come here to buy espadrilles, which is even a word I just learnt from this map.
39 myself and this is the first time I've heard the term espadrilles, for me allways had been "zapatillas de estar por casa". The more I know!
They mean this type of traditional outdoor shoe. Espardenya is more of a Catalan thing, and popular as a souvenir. Though calling it "most popular" might be a stretch.
TIL people go to Portugal for the cock.
And to Austria for the balls
Hey I was just telling my girlfriend yesterday that the best way to spot a tourist in Paris is to look for a beret
Was walking past the Musée d'Orsay one day and saw a family strolling along enjoying the sights.
The teenage boy ran up behind his dad and flipped the beret off his head
I was not surprised when the dad gritted his Uncanny-valley teeth and roared "GADDAMM IT RANDY!!!!!!"
😂
Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it's pissing it down with rain here in the UK?
They've forgot to colour some islands with matching colours to their mother country, e.g. Bornholm, Gotland, Sardinia, Corsica, ...
France is there twice
We've had first France. But what about second France?
I'm a little surprised the Netherlands isn't tiny windmills
Calling LEGO a souvenir is bold.
How many balls did Mozart have?!
This must be bs
It's a bit unsettling that this is about the EU but it calls it Europe
Since when are the UK, Ukraine and Türkiye in the EU?
And Norway
Ok, I was also incorrect, but I failed to come up with a name for only the countries shown :(
Europe? Only Russia is missing
Yeah, and only Serbia, and only Montenegro, and only Slovakia, and only Iceland, and that's just from a first glance
Oh yeah... What a weird map
I'm okay with Russia being missing from all things
Since when is Türkiye in Europe?
