Food Wars

A good metaphor is sometimes a powerful tool to show a reality but in a more striking manner. It is maybe thanks to its realistic character that this video got promoted today on YouTube.


If you wonder which country is hidden behind each kind of food, you might be interested in checking this list. I guess it was quite pretty obvious with the pretzels and the bratwurst!

Here are the famous battles that are re-enacted:
1. The World
2. WWII: Holocaust; French surrender; London Bombing; Pearl Harbor; Battle of Midway; D-day; fall of Berlin; Hiroshima
3. Arab-Israeli War: Brits leave Israel; Israel expands territory
4. Korean War: China and Russia back the North; the US back the South
5. Cuban Missile Crisis
6. Viet Nam: China and Russia back the North; the US back the South
7. Cold War: Arms race
8. Intifada
9. Gulf War: Iraq invades Kuwait, Scuds, smart bomb
10. 9/11
11. Afghanistan
12. Gulf War II: Shock and awe; IED
13. Bug Food
PS. This was my 400th post!
