The problem is not the fact that they put foreign stuff into it. The problem is that they still call it "beer" then. Or "chocolate".

This is fraud. They should outright forbid that!

Do you still call it water when there is 25% sand and 25% cement in it?

Do you still call it running when they sit down and rest after every 10 meters (or feet or whatever)?

No, I believe Americans call that "Football"

10 meters is something like 100 miles, right?

The only Miles I know is Miles O'Brien, and he calculates the light years.
