Not the fascinating stuff we walk on as much as how its come to be used in the English language as a metaphor or idioms or Hollywood slang wherever you turn.
It all began with Alladin flying on one that mesmerized the reading and movie going public where Disney continues to milk that cow (or wool) for what its worth.
Then came this -
He was called to the carpet and when he refused they took him to the carpet..That pulled the rug from under him ..
On getting to the carpet the honcho said ..Nice rug (with reference to the toupe) you got there .. what did you expect? A red carpet welcome?
Since you don't got what I want I am going to mess you on this carpet and then proceed to sweep everything under the carpet.
Capiche?
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
What does the word carpetbagger mean?
