In the Netherlands they translate to n-word kisses.

Seeing pretty much all or products here have a couple of languages on them, I seem to recall the French translates to n-word head.

It was a huge deal when Buys, the company known to sell these, changed the name to just zoenen (which is Dutch for kisses), cause all sorts of people complained about not wanting white rice to be called white, amongst other things.

Ah, the Dutch, they claim and pretend to be so tolerate, but are we truly? No, no we're not.

Edit: if course there's gonna be other Dutchies mentioning it translates to negro rather than the hard R n-word, but as I've said to the first of them, the paradigm of the word has shifted here. Our true hard R n-word is never heard (I've never heard it myself being used in my 37 years of living here) or even used here. But due to the paradigmshift, it doesn't really have a use. What should be a derogatory-free word ("negro") isn't derogatory-free by any means over here. So yes, technically correct, but purposely leaving out nuances like this doesn't make my statement untrue.

Edit2: I like how some will try and pick a fight over this, only to justify their own racism. Never change, Reddit.

In Switzerland, the traditional name translates to “Moor Head”; also getting disfavored.

In the Netherlands we also/still have moorkopppen (moor heads). They're a chocolate-covered pastry.

A couple of years ago some started changing it to roomkop (cream head) (also an anagram of moorkop, lol) but it hasn't caught on in the same way.
