I know its a fact, calling it a myth repeatedly is disingenuous of you.

I'd really like to know where from you get your info. I know a lot of Germans, basically the vast majority of persons I know personally on this planet are German. I would have heared of this before, would it be true . So you must have made it up, or maybe it is from the national enquirer you just read?

Gee, I've got to go to my wardrobe now and check the purple stuff there. . What if the moths have eaten everything by now? For every 1 Mio € you need at least one pack of "Nexa Lotte" (Is this known in the US?)

logos,
Denial is a temporary cure for embarrassment.

Booooring!
I hoped you could do better . Come on this was a good start.

Tell the TA they can unload them on eBay.
