Our tarboush is not our tarboush

The blog Beirut/NTSC posted some very sad news yesterday, it turns out the Gandour "Tarboush" is actually not a Gandour or Lebanese creation, but it's actually copied from a Swiss company! They copied everything, the chocolate idea, the branding of it and even the name! The original name of the Swiss chocolate was "Têtes de nègre" which translates to "Negro heads" in English and "Rass al 3abed" in Arabic. Back in 1992 "Têtes de nègre"…

I really think its one of the most under appreciated Lebanese blogs out there, check it out
