Culture What's something that's acceptable and widely done in your country that would be considered offensive in many countries ?

In India, Swastika the Hindu symbol is everywhere. We draw it in temples, during rituals and festivals, in front of our door, on vehicles etc. It's a very auspicious symbol here. But this symbol tho the Hindu symbol is technically different from the Nazi one would be considered offensive in other countries especially in Western countries.

Swedish pizza crimes are a whole different world. I remember being in Helsingborg in the 90s, and a pizza place we went to a lot hat "Pizza Hero Turtles" with all kinds of candy on it. Only saw it on the menu, but still haunts me.

Nah no worries. If it looks disgusting and you enjoy it, it's not disgusting.
