Same here in germany... Tulips and "showball-system" (don't know if that has even a meaning in english, in germany we say: "Schneeballsystem") aka Ponzi-Scheme.
My wife loves Schneeballen. Although isn't it more of a powder sugar coated baked confectionery than a frozen snowball.
Meantime, are we still stuck at 51k?
XD ... Don't know "Schneeballen", sounds delicious

but here the connection with the word "snowball-system" is more to a "snow avalanche". Don't know the origin of our word, but it's the ponzi scheme
