Lindt & Spruengli’s foil-wrapped chocolate bunnies deserve protection from copycat products, Switzerland’s highest court ruled on Thursday, and ordered German discounter Lidl to stop selling a similar product in Switzerland and to destroy its remaining stock. Surveys submitted by Lindt showed Lindt’s Easter bunny was well known to the public, the Federal Court said, adding the two products were likely to be confused even though there were some differences between them.
It overturned a Swiss commercial court’s ruling against Lindt and in favor of two Swiss units of Lidl last year and ordered Lidl to destroy its inventory of chocolate bunnies. “Destruction is proportionate, especially as it does not necessarily mean that the chocolate as such would have to be destroyed,” it said in a summary of its verdict.

Why? 😲
I love Lindt chocolates. I've never tried their bunnies before. Maybe I should. If other companies are ripping them off, then the product at hand must be dang good.
well... I'm glad we got that sorted. I was getting confused.
Now when they say destroy.... would sending them to me for a thorough devouring count?

Unwrap these “look a likes” and send them tot me😋
Ridiculous. If someone has managed to make the same thing cheaper then IT SHOULD HAPPEN. It's called working smarter. CABAL COMPANIES IN THEFT MODE AS USUAL
The jury.
🤔 Lindt & Sprungli’s is in their right to fight it’s quality products against falsification abuse!,I’m surprised & shocked it was a German company who did this! 😯
They should just be ordered to give them away for free instead. Destroying perfectly good chocolate is such a waste
Melt the chocolate and make chocolate chickens! 🥰
Destroying food? How thoughtless, dear Highest Court of Switzerland…
Melt them down just in time to make Santas.
Oh, you can send over some to me. Don't destroy!!
JLLiedl At first read, I thought you may be part of the commission to destroy chocolate bunnies. One letter off.
LidlGB DM me for professional destroying services
The great chocolate cull of 2022😐

I'll help. 😜
Lidl now has chocolate ducks for sale.
Oh no😱 we have to save and free the bunnies! Who is with me💪🏻
Finally! A job I was destined to perform! Bring them to me so that I may properly dispose of them!
What about Belgium and those hand like chocolates in mockery of the millions of Congolese decapitated by the evil King Leopold 11 ?
Destroying chocolate bunnies is sacrilege. Don't kill the chocolate bunnies!!!
“Destruction is proportionate, especially as it does not necessarily mean that the chocolate as such would have to be destroyed,” it said in a summary of its verdict..
Can’t they just chop the ears off and sell them as chocolate mice?
🤔☢️🗡️⛏️⚰️😱🐰
Why not donate them?
Something tells me to visit a Lidl store soon for some free Chocolate Bunnies...
Beautiful work Switzerland 🇨🇭 wish other counties could learn from you
Funny that Switzerland would rule in favour of Lindt and against Lidl in Switzerland 🤔🤔🤔
I will destroy them alright
Dear lidl, I volunteer to destroy them all 🍫🍫🍫❤️❤️❤️🤪
Destruction of chocolate is never appropriate, give it away! Lindt chocolate is one of the best and does deserve protection.
I hope they do it humanely
Lol
They’re rubbish anyway. Just a cheap hollow moulded rabbit. Incredibly overpriced for what they are.

Destroy?
I’ll destroy a few :) 🤣

After Supreme Court backs Bremerton praying coach, no sweeping changesWhen the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Bremerton high school football coach’s right to pray on the field after games, there were predictions of dramatic consequences. That's because we found out it was just a grift. He's been offered his job back, but he'd rather tour the country as a conservative celebrity. It was never about religion, big surprise. Drama? It's not dramatic to pray before a meal, or pray before Army-Navy game in a public funded stadium, or when a visiting christian high school prays on the same field at Bremerton high school. Legal test is: Time,Place, Manner. Pay up Bremerton. The SC ruled he could do what the SC has said for decades public school employees and students could do (pray privately) by pretending he was fired (he wasn’t) for praying privately (he wasn’t). His narrative of events was a lie the conservatives bought hook line and sinker.
