That's because marketing people in France have to use English words for everything, for some reason.

They think it sounds cool but in this case it is really ridiculous.

You could argue the same thing in English here (using a French word). But yes I agree we overuse (and abuse) English words. Don't get me started on the misuse of 's.. <facepalm's/>

Or maybe it is to disambiguate "vert chaud" (hot green) and "verre chaud" (hot glass) that are pronounced the same way. =)

Well that's what happens when you disturb the natural order of things by mixing hot chocolate and Chartreuse ;)
