I'd go with anything french, particularly cars (but excepting wine & champagne, for the odd time I like a wee glass)

Mmm that breville sandwich maker is a hard one to beat but I'd probably go with either, fracking or depleted uranium shells... No actually definitely the latter.
Firing off things that poison the planet for ever is never a brilliant idea but one that seems to readily overused by the west. |

Those tins you open with a key - reminds me as some kind of vicious weapon from Peaky Blinders as the sharp tin starts to stretch out into long cord as you gamely try to wedge open the tin of spam with your fingers which are about to be sliced off at the other time as trying not to lose your hand from the razor sharp cord stretching a foot long from the tin.
Some evil gangsters plaything I am sure! |

We would have lost 300,000 men at Dunkirk if it wasn't for some heroic French soldiers that stayed behind and held off the Germans long enough for us to evacuate. |

The evacuation from Dunkirk, codenamed "Operation Dynamo," commenced on May 26. It was originally hoped that up to 45,000 men might be rescued. The actual total came to 338,000 men. Lord Gort was instructed not to inform his French and Belgian colleagues that the evacuation was beginning. South-east of Dunkirk the British withdrew their units, leaving seven French divisions alone to face the advancing Germans. The French fought on until their ammunition was exhausted and managed, like the Belgians, to tie down German forces that would otherwise have been available to assault the perimeter of Dunkirk. |

I can do without anything on that list with the exception of garlic and I'm fairly sure that's not a French invention as it occurs naturally, much like the people you also listed.
My initial post was kinda light hearted anyway as the French have been responsible for some great things. Most modern medicine wouldn't be what it is without the French.
They're just an easy target for ridicule..... |

This reply was also light hearted, I kind of set myself a task just to see if I could name 20 things that are french. |

"Aids, Ebola, atomic and nuclear bombs, racism, upper/lower social classes ... someone said war I add my voice to that. The list is long.
Aid and Ebola are inventions now?"
Conspiracy theories say so lol. The evidence shown was convincing to me. According to those theories both Ebola and Aids are bio weapons tested in Africa. |

Strangely enough, it seems it was the English who 'invented' Champagne!
Dom Perignon was actually trying to get rid of the bubbles as it was so unfashionable only the English would drink it. It was English importers who figured out the trick of adding molasses (I think) to get the second fermentation & it was English glassmakers who invented a bottle strong enough not to explode under the pressure :D |
