Only in France?

I have stumbled upon one or a few odd things here in the south of France and I will try to illustrate as much as I can. It is often behaviour, phenomena, or product/business names that I, with my social/cultural upbringing, percieve as humorous or bizzare, and that simply would not fly in most other countrys. I'm not saying this is something specific for France, this would be the case in any nation, it just so happens to be that I live in France, so I will exploit its peculiarities. First observation in this picture series: A food brand name that would have convinced me to purchase, had it not been totally useless and unappealing to me. I can't stop smiling, imagining this was a consciously chosen name, meant to position this dieting chocolat as a premium brand that would appeal to homosexual aristocrats.
