I would, but really, that Carl Jung thing - does that actually constitute a joke? Whats all that about? Jonathan must try harder. 6/10.

No-one cares about yer muesli, precisely because it's Swiss. If it were from French-toast-alvania, it would be an entirely different issue. Try it in context. "Original Formula French-toast-alvania Muesli". See? Who would discontinue that? No-one.

Of course! How could I be so blind?

i have considered the above and now revise my initial observation. The inherent problem with "original swiss formula muesli" is that it is a double-edged sword of uninterestingness bound for discontinuation. The first such edge is the aforementioned "swissness". The second is its "muesliness". Muesli is ugly and never looks like it's spelt correctly. "Muesli". Bleeh.

To prove my point, try the following: "Original French-toast-alvania Formula Fluffernutter". See? It's a well-suited corporate advertising executive's wet dream.

hmm... then how do we explain that aforesaid uninteresting muesli is sitting happily back on the supermarket shelves?
