Du erinnerst dich: Anfangs Monat ging Spotify an die Börse. An der Wall Street wurde zur Feier des Tages die Schweizer Fahne gehisst. Dumm nur, dass Spotify eine schwedische Firma ist:
Hach, was haben wir gelacht. Doch das Beste haben wir verpasst. Weitgehend unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit haben sich die Konsulate der Schweiz und Schweden in New York einen kleinen Schlagabtausch auf Twitter geliefert. Ein sehr lustiges kleines Twattle:
It's @Spotify's big day! The company is going public and @NYSE intended to pay homage to the company's Swedish roots, but flew our flag instead 🤭 It only took 15 minutes to fix this mistake, but no worries our Nordic friends are humble and we are neutral, so no tiff will ensue😉 pic.twitter.com/9k8wAtYVBQ

Don't flatter yourself, Switzerland 🇨🇭. Sweden 🇸🇪 may also be known as a neutral country, but this is where we draw the line. pic.twitter.com/6ah21c6PHE

We understand that #Sweden is a winter wonderland, but that doesn't mean you have to be so icy ❄️ #feelinglikepenguinnumber2 pic.twitter.com/vs31SkiVxk

Your whole country is basically just made up of icy mountains, and your cheese is full of holes (but admittedly delicious) 🏔🧀 pic.twitter.com/q0XUdxzhgZ

Well, if we are not mistaken, you also have icy mountains. But about those holes, they are surrounded by the best cheese🧀 in the 🌍 pic.twitter.com/wc7EHXn1TJ

I guess there are a few similarities, but at least now a lot people know which flag is which 🤓 And we made this #CheatSheet to prevent any future confusion: pic.twitter.com/YeNcggWSs9

Spotify is as Swedish as meatballs, and we ❤️ both. Our 15 mins of fame might be over soon, but our friendship will always last 😊 pic.twitter.com/2NOC4YFKAE
