If you are planning to go out on a world tour you better go through the laws and regulations of that country because the world is becoming a weird place to live in These absurd rules around the world can get you into trouble
Few of them make some sense, but most of them are idiotic Now, this may sound a bit surprising, but even developed countries like England, Australia, and China are on the list These rules are so ridiculous that after going through this article, you probably do not want to live on this planet anymore So here are 10 bizarre laws around the world Before we begin, feel free to subscribe the channel and press the bell icon for instant notifications from Facts-On-5
Now Let's get started Number 10 France banned Ketchup French fries and ketchup are pretty much made for each other, but the country that gave those fried potato strips their name won't allow its citizens to enjoy the condiment The reason for this bizarre food ban has to do with the pride that France takes in its cuisine
The French government felt that teenagers were using too much ketchup, and it was ruining the originality of traditional French cuisine, so they had its use banned from school cafeterias Luckily, however, students are still allowed a small side of ketchup if they order french fries Number 9 Singapore banned Chewing Gum Chewing gum helps students to make it through boring lectures, and is of course, illegal in Singapore since 1992 to maintain cleanliness
Does that even make sense? Well probably Before the ban, the Housing Development Board of Singapore had reportedly been spending 150,000 dollar annually to tidy up gum that had been disposed of on sidewalks, in keyholes, around housing estates and even on the seats of public transportation Things got even worst when people started sticking chewing gum on the train door sensors causing the doors to malfunction and resulting in long disruptions of train services Singapore�s ban on the sale of chewing gum is possibly the most internationally well-known law in the world When it first came to light in the early 1990s, it was one of the main things that Western journalists would focus on when writing about the city-state
Number 8 Bolivia banned McDonald's McDonald�s is without a doubt one of the world�s most powerful, ubiquitous brands, able to offer peckish customers a Big Mac or Happy Meal beneath its golden arches in every corner of the globe But the fast-food giant does not always have such an easy time setting up shop Bolivia became the first McDonald�s-free Latin American nation in 2002
There appeared to exist a general disdain for the company around the country Former president Evo Morales once said, McDonald's is not interested in the health of human beings, only in earnings and corporate profits Number 7 Saudi Arabia Banned Valentine's day Since the Middle Ages, 14 February is the date we're encouraged to show our partners even more affection than the other 364 days of the year
Not in some parts of the world though In places like Saudi Arabia, celebrating Valentine's Day with flowers, chocolates or a glass of wine could result in severe punishment Since the government of Saudi Arabia thinks Valentine's Day is against the Islamic rules, they don't celebrate it In past years, the decision to sentence five Saudis men to a total of 39 years in prison, as well as 4,500 lashes between them, was upheld The men had been found dancing with six women they were unrelated to on Valentine's Day
Alcohol and red roses were also seized Number 6 Australia Banned Small Breast According to the Australian Classification Board, A-B-C, your breast size decides if you are under 18 or not ABC feels that a woman with an A cup looks as if they are under 18
So, A-B-C rejected a large number of adult movies due to breast size Australia's ban on mainstream pornograpghy from showing women with A-cup breasts is apparently to discourage paedophilia However, the fact that A-cup is a normal breast size for many adult women makes it bit silly Number 5 Italian metropolis banned frowning
In Milan, you are always supposed to be smiling Yes, Always Only the exception is given at the time of funerals and hospital visits Otherwise, you are not allowed to frown There is a ban placed on frowning by Italian Metropolis
Well, what can I say, Keep smiling if you want to avoid any penalty Number 4 Italians cannot kiss in a moving vehicle Italy is one of the most romantic countries, but in Eboli south of Naples, it is illegal to kiss someone in a moving vehicle Kissing someone in a moving vehicle can end up with a 500 Euro penalty
Number 3 You cannot change light bulbs in Australia In Australia, only licensed electricians can change light bulbs There are a number of claims that if you live in Victoria, and you are not an electrician, you�d be living on the edge and would be considered a total rebel if you are bold enough to replace your bedside lamp�s bulb The penalty for breaking this law is 10 Australian dollars
Number 2 It is illegal to die in the House of Parliament in England This absurd law is coming from England which states that if you die in the House of Parliament you will be entitled to a state funeral because buildings are considered a royal palace We're not sure what the punishment for this particular offence would be Number 1
Owning Bible is illegal in North Korea It is not surprising because it is North Korea after all 80 North Koreans were executed for owning Bibles So, it would be a good idea to leave your Bible at home if you are visiting North Korea In my suggestion just don't visit North Korea until and unless you are keen to interview Kim Jong-un
