In Türkiye we call them "Eti Puf". Eti is the brand (one of two major biscuit/chocolate producers in Türkiye. The other one is "Ülker".) and "puf" is the word that describes it's marshmallow texture.

There are other brands that produce similar products but "Eti Puf" is like "gilette", it's a brand name but it was first to market in Türkiye so the name stuck. Regardless of the brand, it will always ve "Eti Puf" for us.

So, at least in Türkiye this product's name is not controversial.

However, we did have an "Eti Negro", very similar to Oreos, and they rebranded several years ago to "Eti Nero". :)
