# ahhh ...
I thought this stuff is also sold in britain. It's chocolate. Chocolate that is - referring to the advertising - highly suitable for saying "thank you" to a beloved person.

Discuss.

don't you think even a little bit that waldorf & statler are kind of inappropriate edorsers for merci?

# But noone understands it!
Who or what are Merci, and why is it captioned in german - I don't even get it after it was helpfully translated!

Are Merci a hospitality comnpany or what?

# Why is it in French and in German?
Merci = Thank you (French)
dass es dich gibt = That there is you (German)

doesn't make a lot of sense even after translation - sorry about that

# merci is what you say all over the world!!
OK, like I said before, I thought "merci" (which is the name brand of the candy / a brand) was shipped to Britain. And, of course, people in Britain knew that terrible advertising-song "merci dass es dich gibt", which means "merci for being you".

Here's what they say about "merci" at the manufacturers' website:

"There is no better way of expressing such heartfelt gratitude than with a present that speaks for itself: merci Finest Selection.

The eight delicious chocolate flavours, made from the finest ingredients available, provide indulgence and variety.

merci is what you say all over the world.

The idea for merci was born in 1965. It was then that merci began to win over people's hearts as the first individually wrapped gift-giving chocolate in Germany. By 1966 it was already possible to give an especially heartfelt "thanks" in Austria with merci. Nowadays, people in over 70 countries of the world - from Poland to Hong Kong, from Sweden to Saudi-Arabia - give merci as a gift."

Beautiful, eh?
