What is in a name?

My co-worker, Sascha went to Germany for World Cup a few weeks ago. Before Sascha left we got onto the topic of some favorite 'snack' treats that he could bring back for us. Sascha then asked us if we ever had, "Negerkuss". (Yes, I am sure you can pronounce the 'Neger' part correctly).

After Sascha explained that it was like a chocolate covered pastry, we all said, "Like a, Ho-Ho?? I guess Ho-Ho is a lot better brand name than Negerkuss. Apparently Negerkuss isn't politically correct in Germany anymore and now it is called DICKMAN's. Yeah, that isn't better either...but we were all like bring us back some Dick-man!

Well, true to his word, Sascha brought us back some Dickmans.


Not only do they have SUPER dickmans but they have MINI dickmans too.
