6. Not desert, but dessert, Germany has more German Chocolate cakes than any other nation.

All chocolate cakes baked in Germany are De Facto German Chocolate cakes, in essence, they have a monopoly on desserts.

Of course, this overwhelming advantage in desserts has enabled Germany's ascension on the solar energy front.

The U.S. may have Apple Pie but apples are seasonal and sometimes they have worms, chocolate is forever so if it isn't chocolate, what's the point?

Thanks for the thread, Scuba.
