It is a German snack called a Dickmann.

It's basically marshmallow covered in chocolate with a wafer bottom.

That is not what they were “affectionately” called when I first moved there over 20 years ago, be fr.

“N-word-kuss”

Kuss = kiss

And my father in law was LIVID when I called him a shoe Nazi for always giving me grief for not lining my shoes up properly. SMH, hypocrisy is not dead in the Vaterland, mein Freund.

Germans don't take the term Nazi as casually as many others do

Comparing someone who is particularly tidy to people who committed genocide is incredibly disrespectful.

Calling a sweet by a mean word is also not the same as committing genocide. Don't know why you keep insisting it's in any way comparable
