    Dickmann‘s is a Brand. The general name is „Schaumkuss“ or „Schokoschaumkuss“. They had pretty racist names in the past and taste great

      Well, good to know we weren’t the only ones with the racist names (feels like ages ago, but it wasn’t even that long ago). Schaumkuss makes sense though, they just changed them to the Dutch equivalent of “kuss” here.

        I think the origin was 100% racist. But most people just used the words without thinking about the origin.

        When I was s kid, they had racist names. It was just the name like a bicycle is called a bicycle. You just used the name. The realization came later when I was older and knew that the words can also be used as a slur.

        To be fair though, Germany changed a lot since the 90s. Racism was way worse in the 90s/00s than now.
