Cracolândia on Maps
The Cracolândia region, in the center of São Paulo, was delimited as a neighborhood on the platform Google Maps. The demarcation considered the area between Rua Helvétia, Alameda Barão de Piracicaba and Largo Coração de Jesus.

Changes to Toblerone
The Matterhorn mountain peak will soon be removed from Toblerone packaging when part of the chocolate production is transferred from Switzerland to Slovakia. American company Mondelez, which makes Toblerone, said the postcard image of Switzerland will be replaced with a more generic peak.
The change in packaging will be made so as not to violate a law that aims to protect the “Switzerland” brand, in force since 2017 in the country. The legislation provides that national symbols cannot be used to promote milk-based products that are not manufactured exclusively in Switzerland — and, in the case of other foodstuffs, at least 80% of the product's raw materials must come from the country.
