Huh? What's that word on my lips?

For me as a Finn, it was a surprise to find a familiar word and a name right under my nose, when visiting Dublin last summer. But for an Irish it must look gibberish.

The company name is a rather common surname in Finland. In English it means the same as "Swidden Hill", and "Schwendbau Berg" in German.

As many other companies at the same business, it currently does it's best to get rid of the plastic. It just made a big contract with McDonald's to replace plastic straws with paper straws. One of the great new challenges is to replace plastic for what's in the picture.

Can you guess what is in the picture, and what the company is? Easy, I am sure, especially if you have used to take your coffee and go.

It did not come to here and I always drink coffee were they serve it in non disposable cups. It could be the bottom of a cup?

Looks like the lid to a coffee cup, Sami. But your picture pulled me in to make sure. Good job!

I'm sure in this case it's not the battlecry of Icelandic football fans;-) I guess it's the lid of a coffee to go. I admit I have never looked what is written there.

HUH... No Idea, Sami. I'm not a fan of coffee to go. So I don't know any company that produce such cups. But I support every effort to replace plastic. Advertising that is a great Idea for our topic today!

Huhtasaari, no, ei sitten, mutta Huhtamäki kuulosta parempi :))

I had to look for the meaning of swidden and Schwendbau, but it is really huhta in Finnish
