La Menorquina has discontinued Punky, one of the most historic and famous ice creams in the Balearic Islands, a brand that has marked the childhood of many generations. This is yet another example of the loss of traditional products and elements that the archipelago has been gradually losing in recent years. After Laccao's farewellas a Mallorcan product, to become 100% CatalanNow Punky disappears too.

In the midst of the tiresome debate about the name and the unity of our language (will it never end?) It's common that, when someone says "Menorcan yes, Catalan no," someone else asks why the same isn't said of Castilian Spanish. In Extremadura, in the Pampas, or on the streets of Mexico City, it's often said that everyone understands they speak the same language, regardless of the variations in vocabulary, phonetics, intonation, and syntax. So why isn't the same criterion applied to Catalan? And it turns out that, indeed, among Castilian speakers there have also been attempts at linguistic secession, which are quite entertaining.
