I can tell for sure that, that map is at least from 1991. Could even be older.

chocolate ... the key to happiness?

edit: no clue what i'm talking about...

The gap between 1st and 2nd is 13 points... the normal point gap is only 3.... I really wonder what makes these guys so overly happy, and whatever it is Im hoping someone can send me a bottle.

That's the part that cracked me up. One of those what? Countries of the world? Not to mention you took a whole three guesses, and were dead wrong on each one anyway.

I find the suggestion that the UK is as happy as Mexico and that Ireland is happier to be utterly ridiculous.

These surveys are farcical
